- Furling system with a new mainsail (2025). Genoa still in very good condition. Both sails are protected from damaging UV with Navy Blue Sunbrella fabric.

- Most of the faucets have been replaced by good quality ones.
- Most lights (interior/exterior and navigation) have been replaced with LEDs.

- In replacement of an ice maker that we never used, we built a new very useful cabinet in the galley with a wine rack (that has proven to hold the bottles even in rough conditions).
- Beautiful shiny teak flooring that looks like new.
- Plenty of space under the flooring for the storage and to hold 3 water tanks and a large holding tank. Plenty of space under the seats for the storage.
* All hatches are equipped with roller blinds and mosquito nets. The main portholes are equipped with pleated blinds.
** The lead keel, known for its high density and low center of gravity, contributes to the boat's great stability.

MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT
- Yanmar 50 HP diesel engine in excellent condition with less than 2,000 hours.
- Highly efficient Aqua Maax watermaker (23 gallons/hour) with a new high-pressure tube (2024) and a new membrane (2024) that provide water with a very low PPM content, excellent for drinking.
- 3 new 150-watt solar panels (2025)
- 3 new 200 AMP AGM batteries (2025) with a 40 AMP Bluetooth controller
- New Lewmar electric windlass (2024) with a handy water hose next to it.
- 2 electric toilets (fresh water).
A Fisher Panda 8 kw generator is still installed under the captain's seat, but needs repairs that may be only electronic.
Over the last two seasons, we used a new portable Pulsar generator (4.2 kw) and we had more than enough power. No maintenance is required except for a simple oil change every 50 hours.
Included:
- 11.3 ft Carib Marine Hypalon dinghy purchased new in Sint Maarten in 2020, with a 15 HP Yamaha 2-stroke engine (2014) that runs like new.
- 1 Portable generator (4.2 kw)
- 2 fishing rod holders
- Hoist for lifting the Yanmar engine. Note: For short trips, the dinghy and its motor can be easily towed behind the boat. For longer voyages, we prefer to remove the motor using the hoist and place it on the railing. The dinghy can then be towed unloaded or hold onto the deck using the spinnaker halyard. The electric winch makes this process much easier.
- Portable VHF radio
- Many primary filters for the watermaker.
- Spare parts (engines, Fisher Panda generator, etc.)
- Dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, etc.
