The word of the owner

This is a sturdy ketch designed for offshore sailing in all areas. She combines the charm of the vintage and the comfort of a travel boat. Very comfortable at sea, she is ideal for family sailing or for charter expeditions. She has a great autonomy in fresh water and diesel for the exploration of isolated areas. She is also comfortable at anchor.
She is ready to leave for all destinations and all distances as soon as she is purchased. With 50,000 nautical miles since her purchase in 2017, she has more than proven herself.
We are changing our lives, hence the sale.
