Additional Information:

Currently lying on the hard in the scenic Sant Carles de la Rapita, Spain since July 2022, this yacht maintains impressive condition. Notably, she shows no signs of osmosis, further emphasizing her sturdiness, and benefits from a protective epoxy coating below the waterline from years past. All essential systems are functional, though the bowthruster remains inactive. Her electrical system is up-to-date, but there's room for some streamlining in the wiring. With a bit of cosmetic attention to the topsides and deck, she'll be back in her prime. A comprehensive 2021 survey is available for those keen on understanding her in-depth history. A solid choice for sailors eager to embark on new adventures.
