Herbulot Gallian 13 Ketch

XBOAT ref :1661.
Gallian ketch 13, hull study yard of Carènes, Herbulot.
This boat underwent a full refit in 2020 in preparation for a world tour, which unfortunately was not carried out by the current owner.
Both engines were replaced with two brand new VOLVO PENTA D2 50 HP units; the yard did extensive work replacing all the propulsion lines, the shaft lines, the wheelhouse, tanks, rudder bushings, couplings, hydraulics, and much more.
The electrical and electronic systems were also completely renewed.
Complete invoice file available. Over €90,000 spent; survey report upon request.
