Strongal aluminum boat: 10mm bottom, bulkhead, deck, deckhouse in 8mm, cockpit in 6mm, keel in 20mm by the Meta shipyard in Tarare, based on Michel Joubert's plans.
The first owner bought the hull bare and took around 12 years to complete the woodwork. Following a stroke shortly after launching in 2012, he was forced to cancel his sailing plans. The boat was then kept dry at Grau du Roi, which prevented it from deteriorating.
The current owner is a professional skipper and former shipyard manager, who has spent most of his career in the boating industry. He bought the boat in 2018 and completed the equipment according to modern standards and his extensive sailing experience.
An anti-slip thermal and acoustic insulation was installed (5mm Seacork panels). All the electrics have been redone, with only a few original cables remaining. The electronics have been installed, the plumbing redone, and the safety system overhauled, with the installation of hard railings, a mast balcony, a handrail overhanging the cockpit, and lifelines.
