OWNERS COMMENTS
THE LAZY BONES IS A SIMPLE, STRONG, LOW COST, RELIABLE BLUE WATER CRUISING BOAT THAT HAS NEVER LET US DOWN IN 15 YEARS OF
CRUISING THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND ASIA WITH OUR 2 YOUNG CHILDREN ABOARD. THE BOAT IS TOUGH AS NAILS AND WILL GIVE MANY MORE YEARS OF SERVICE WITH MINIMAL EXPENSE.
THE BOAT HAS AN "OPEN" INTERIOR LAYOUT ALLOWING MAXIMUM
VENTILATION AND LIVING SPACE. THE BOAT HAS A PERMANENT GALLEY TABLE AND
SEPARATE SETTEE, NORMALLY ONLY FOUND IN LARGER BOATS.
THE BOAT HAS A HOLLOW BOX KEEP FOR ANCHORS, CHAIN AND DROP-IN
TANKS. ALL OTHER INTERIOR SPACE IS GIVEN OVER TO LOCKERS. THE BOAT
IS WELL DESIGNED FROM CRUISING, WITH SIGNIFICANTLY MORE TANKS AND LOCKER SPACE
THAN TYPICAL OF PRODUCTION BOATS OF A SIMILAR SIZE.
MOST SYSTEMS ABOARD ARE MANUAL TO KEEP THEM SIMPLE AND RELIABLE AND ARE BEST SUITED TO A YOUNGER, ACTIVE CREW LOOKING TO
CRUISE COMFORTABLY AND SAFELY ON A BUDGET. SHE WILL ALSO PERFORM WELL FOR
AN OLDER CREW LOOKING TO RETIRE, KEEP FIT AND SAIL COMFORTABLY WITHOUT INVESTING
A FORTUNE.
THE BOAT SAILS WELL AND SURPRISES MANY PEOPLE THAT THINK OF STEEL BOATS AS POOR PERFORMERS. THE BONES REGULARLY OUTPERFORMS
MANY BOATS OF SIMILAR SIZE, ESPECIALLY AS CONDITIONS FRESHEN. UPWIND ESPECIALLY SHE CAN KEEP GOING IN HEAVY CONDITIONS WHEN MOST SIMILAR SIZED BOATS CANNOT.
THE BOAT WILL HEAVE TO COMFORTABLY IN STORM CONDITIONS. UNDER YANKEE AND TRIPLE REEFED MAIN WE BEAT OFF A LEE SHORE HANDILY
IN SURVIVAL CONDITIONS.
THE ENGINE WAS SERVICED 500 HOURS AGO TO CORRECT CORROSION IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM (20 YEARS OLD). THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND
STANDPIPE WERE REPLACED AND THE HEAD, VALVES AND GUIDES SERVICED. THE PRE-COMBUSTION CHAMBERS WERE REPLACED AND THE INJECTORS SERVICED. A SPARE SET OF INJECTORS ARE
ABOARD. THE CYLINDERS WERE FOUND TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO VISIBLE WEAR. THE ENGINE STARTS ON THE FIRST CRANK WITH NO REQUIREMENT FOR PRE-HEAT. THE ENGINE WILL
START WITH THE HAND CRANK IN CASE OF BATTERY FAILURE.
BOAT HISTORY
THE LAZY BONES WAS DESIGNED AND BUILT SPECIFICALLY AS A BLUE WATER CRUISER AND WAS OUTFITTED TO COMMERCIAL STANDARDS
AND FINISH TO INCREASE RELIABILITY, REDUCE COSTS, AND TO ALLOW MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR IN REMOTE, THIRD WORLD LOCATIONS. THE BONES WAS LAUNCHED IN 1983 AND WAS CRUISED IN MEXICO AND HAWAII FOR 4 YEARS BY RON PEARSON, THE BUILDER AND
DESIGNER.
RON PEARSON HAS DESIGNED/BUILT MANY SUCCESSFUL BOATS OVER THE YEARS. MANY OF THESE CAN BE FOUND AT
www.origamimagic.com.
WE MET RON WHILE CRUISING IN OUR PREVIOUS BOAT AND IMMEDIATELY BECAME INTERESTED IN OWNING “THE BONES”. WE SOLD OUR BOAT AND
TOOK POSSESSION OF THE BONES IN HAWAII IN 1987 AND CRUISED THE PACIFIC AND SE ASIA FOR THE NEXT 15 YEARS, WITH ONE OF OUR CHILDREN BORN ALONG THE WAY IN FIJI.
OUR CHILDREN ARE NOW GETTING READY FOR UNIVERSITY. WE HAVE MOVED ASHORE TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION AND HAVE PLACED THE BONES FOR SALE RATHER THAN HAVE HER AGE AND SPOIL WHILE WE ARE BUSY ASHORE.

OTHER EQUIPMENT:
COMMENTS:
The subject vessel is currently under the care of Mr. Chan Mung Seng who has a good reputation for 20+ years taking care of yachts. Lazy Bones is on one of Mr. Chan's
moorings and he checks it personally on a daily basis. Mr. Chan reports that, since he started taking care of this vessel the bilge has been completely dry.
This is a sound and strong vessel, well designed, constructed and maintained. Cosmetically, it represents a boat twenty years old.
The level of navigation and auxiliary equipment on board is adequate.
The essential structural features are observed to be sound and no specific recommendations have been made re major modifications or repairs.
DECLARATION:
The surveyor is not held responsible for any inaccuracy, omission, misstatement or error in judgment. To all intent, purpose and interest, reports emanating from this
office may be adjudged as an evaluated opinion of the surveyor.
