  • navigation center (The navigation equipment is particularly comprehensive. It includes a Raymarine Evolution EV-1 autopilot with ACU-400 computer and Raymarine S2 ram, as well as a SmartController remote control. Wind, speed, and depth information are displayed by Raymarine ST60+ and i70 instruments. The Furuno electronics include a 1824C-BB radar, two NavNet VX2 GD-1920C-BB networked units, an MV120 external screen, an Atlantis Land interior monitor, a GP32 GPS, and a NX300 Navtex, said to have been serviced in 2020. The Ocean RO 3800 VHF Radio receives AIS data displayed on the NavNet network. The inventory also mentions a Furuno fluxgate compass, C-MAP mapping, a masthead TV antenna, a 12 V television, a stereo system, a Kannad Marine SportPro+ EPIRB beacon, a Raymarine LifeTag system, and a DOLINK tracker. The operation of the devices and the currency of the cartography should be verified during the visit and inspection.)
  • charger
  • battery charger
  • 12V circuit (The engine is installed in a compartment with enhanced soundproofing and particularly accessible from the interior and the technical room. The installation includes a hot air extractor, an electric oil drain pump, a remote seawater inlet valve, an additional start control in the technical zone, and an interior engine control at the chart table. The interventions mentioned in the inventory include the replacement or revision of the damper and injectors in 2016, the exhaust elbow and saildrive seal in 2017, the heat exchanger in 2019, and the Volvo waterlock with anode replacements in 2020. The cooling water intake is installed directly and not via the saildrive, in accordance with Volvo recommendations. This information should be cross-referenced with available invoices and maintenance documents. The fuel capacity is approximately 375 liters. The electrical installation includes five separate battery banks, a Victron Phoenix Smart Charger 12/50, Mastervolt and Victron controllers, a Victron Argofet load distributor, and a Volvo 115 A alternator. A Whisper 3.5 kVA generator, with approximately 657 hours, completes the onboard power supply. Its cylinder head and valves were serviced in 2020, and its starter in 2021. Renewable energy production is provided by a ATMB D400 wind turbine and about 270 W of solar panels with dedicated controllers. Photographs show a clean and accessible installation, with no significant exterior leaks visible in the photographed areas. However, this visual observation does not replace operational checks, sea trials, or an independent mechanical inspection.)
