Engine and performance
Powered by a Volvo D2-75 engine with 75 HP and Sail Drive transmission, this sailboat combines reliability and efficiency. With a cruising speed of 7 knots and a moderate fuel consumption of 2 liters/hour, it proves economical for long crossings.

The living space is equipped with modern amenities, including Dometic air conditioning, heating, a 60L water heater, and full LED lighting. The fully equipped galley includes 2 refrigerators (125L + 80L), freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher (2021), and Kenwood washing machine (2021).
Autonomy and technical equipment
Autonomy is ensured by generous capacities: 800L of freshwater supplemented by a 60L/h Dessalator desalinator, and 400L of fuel. The electrical system was recently upgraded with a Panda 6KWA generator (2023), 2 Victron 60Ah chargers (2025), 4 GEL 170Ah service batteries (2022), a 170Ah engine battery (2025), a Victron 700W inverter, and 1200W of solar panels.
