A complete ultrasonic thickness gauging can be carried out, as well as a complete visual rigging inspection and fluid analysis.
A Yacht Survey includes a visual inspection & operational testing of each part of the systems and equipment on board, as well as a complete sea trail inspection.
In order to ease surveying procedures and obtain the best results, I recommend that the vessel is hauled-out and the bottom hull high pressure washed before the survey inspection.
