Building and history

Prototype of a series of five marine steel boats. All are still sailing. This schooner was built in Reunion with "Marine Merchants - Small Units" standards. First pleasure category in Belgium. Built and launched by her current owner, a steel construction engineer, then sold. Her behavior at sea is very comfortable and very safe. Do not wet, do not heel more than 15 °. Retractable canvas seats and two fixed seats on each side of the entrance allow eight people to sit on the aft platform while sailing. This boat has been sailing around the world since 1984, with regular maintenance by her owner.
The current owner is now selling her for other projects.
The sailboat has, to its credit, 2 circumnavigations with her current owner and half one with the first one.
Sailboat arrived in Polynesia in May 2019.
