She is now an immaculate and well- sorted mid-sized cruising boat, sturdy and sweet-sailing, ideal for a couple to handle and, with two heads, comfortable and convenient for up to six people. She is loaded with extras. She is fully equipped for the Mediterranean, but is strong and capable of ranging as far as her owner wants to take her.
