Boat rental in Biograd na Moru · Dehler — Dehler 34 (1992)

Boat in a catastrophic state: The sails are so worn out that they become unusable: - the mainsail is a full batten 4 battens but a latte is missing, another is broken, and a third protrudes from its location and presses the mast because the sail is torn and the cart is broken. Once inflated, it looks more like a bag than anything else ... - The genoa has been patched multiple times: it is so distorted that it can not be adjusted properly. A twisted rusty nail acts as a pin for the mainsail hoist. The boat is equipped with a backstay textile: it begins to fire dangerously at the pulleys. The engine has a slight diesel leak. The propeller does not seem to be the original one: the boat is struggling to move forward and causes a characteristic turbulence of a propeller too small. (I had to clean the propeller that was covered with a good centimeter of shells when we took the boat!). The neiman is HS (it is necessary to remove the key once started so as not to lose it). The lap counter does not work either. The speedometer does not work: I disassembled and cleaned the sensor: it never exceeded 2 knots (6 gps). The VHF picks up badly and does not emit (or all the captaineries lied to me by saying they did not receive my calls). The servitude batteries are at the end of their life: they have a very important self-discharge. In general, electricity on board is to be reviewed: even at the port, connected to the dock, the refrigerator fails to start if the lights in the cabin are lit. The engine battery is oversized and protrudes from its boot, under the aft cabin: the cabin becomes unusable (the bunk has a bump of 4 cm in the middle). The seams of the deck panels are worn and allow water to get into the boat in case of rain or spray. One of the rollers of the davit is twisted. The supplied chain is long but not adapted to the windlass: it jumps regularly during the ascent of the anchor. One of the bindings of the bimini is half ripped off. When we took the boat the autopilot was not working. The renter came to replace it 3 days later (by one already patched) but the assembly was sloppy. Without adjusting the bar, the support on the cockpit bench broke after two hours of navigation. For the connection, he just cut the plug of the old driver and tap the son of the new top. After checking, it turns out that many of the boat's electrical connections are made with twisted wires and taped together. The boat was supplied without gps but with a 2007 map (!) And a hand compass (not a real bearing compass). The binoculars were broken (replaced following my request). The reversing light was not working (when I asked the renter to replace it, he explained to me that I did not need it since it was only used in case of emergency ... He has finally replaced). The originally supplied schedule engine was not working (and no trainset was provided). The renter changed me the engine and brought oars to a stopover. I am extremely disappointed: I did not know that renting an "old" unit meant having an unguarded boat and in a deplorable state.

Old boat, what was expected. Overall ok for age. Very good welcome on arrival and return of the cruise. Interface Click and boat also very appreciated and reassuring.
