Herbulot Gallian 13 Ketch

XBOAT ref:1661.
Gallian 13 ketch, hull study yard of Carènes, Herbulot.
This boat underwent a complete refit in 2020 for a world tour which, unfortunately, the current owner was unable to undertake.
The two engines were replaced by two brand new VOLVO PENTA D2 50 HP units. The yard did extensive work replacing all the drive lines, shafts, helm, tanks, rudder bushes, joints, hydraulics, and much more.
The electrical and electronic systems were also completely renewed.
Full invoice file available. Over €90,000 spent. Inspection report available upon request.
