This well-maintained ship is for sale due to the cessation of water sports because of physical discomfort.

The ship is a Hollman & Pye design and was built by Colvic in the UK. The topcoat is still in its original condition and shows no signs of calcification. The hull has undergone several anti-osmosis treatments, mainly due to damage from saltwater growth.

The ship has an extensive sail wardrobe from Neil Pryde, with the working sails (main sail, jib, and a small genoa) made from a heavier quality fabric than usual. Additionally, there is a storm jib, light weather genoa, and a tri-radial spinnaker. Max IOR. Colors light blue, white, and dark blue.

From autumn 2022 to spring 2025, the ship has been stored under a winter cover and regular maintenance has been performed.

Water tanks: 2 x 50 liters (2019) with foot pump.
Stainless steel stove and gas locker with gas detector.
An electric toilet in the forepeak.

LED lighting.

The engine was replaced in 2012, and the propeller shaft and propeller were replaced at the same time.
Beta Marine converts Kubota diesels for maritime use and is based in the UK.
The maximum running hours are under 150 hours.
The engine room is mechanically ventilated.

Separate circuits for light and engine batteries of 55 and 108 Ah respectively. For both batteries, there is a shore power charger of 10 A. Charging via the engine generator is done through an intelligent charge controller (Mosfet and ICs), so both batteries are charged independently.
Additionally, there is a 220 Volt inverter of 1 kW and a connection (12V) for a cooler that automatically activates when the engine starts.

In 2021, a solar panel was installed on the roof that charges the light battery via a controller and is sufficient to power a cooler in sunny weather.
