1. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION OF THE VESSEL

1.1 HULL, DEPENDENCIES, ENGINE AND SAILS
Maréchal mast, boom, and pole in good condition. Standing rigging regularly inspected. Running rigging for usage. Furlex genoa furler (1994) and Furlex staysail furler (2009).

Genoa and staysail in excellent condition (2009), new full batten mainsail (2022), Yankee 2 in used condition (on furling), Swedish mainsail and sprayhood in very good condition, medium spinnaker (180 m²) and optional light spinnaker (200 m²), both in excellent condition.

Deck in overall good condition, except paint which needs to be redone and wear spots in the trade. The fairleads and pulleys are in good condition. A very sturdy deck cover was added in 1994. All plexiglas replaced in 2009. The bulwarks, stanchions, and stanchion rails are in good condition. A very solid davit for dinghy with 4 100W solar panels was installed in 2015.

The ship's sides were sanded and repainted in 2009. The keel is easily lifted with an electric winch (WARN U2500) with no lateral play, and the stuffing boxes were replaced in 2010. The hull sides are in good overall condition. The boat was fitted in 2005 with a new under-keel fixed-skeg rudder. The rudder lifts rearward in case of impact and is operable with a manual crank, significantly improving safety.
Two solar panels of 100W each on a davit for tender mounting were installed in 2015.

Interior fittings made of high-quality mahogany, with ironwood flooring. Two stainless steel freshwater tanks (700 and 300 liters). The chart table and navigator's corner were redesigned to house navigation devices.

The engine runs perfectly. The heat exchanger, exhaust manifold, and 12V alternator were replaced in 2012, the 24V 80A alternator was replaced in 2001 (Leece-Neville). The starter and injection pump were renewed in 2012. The hour meter shows 5260 hours. The cooling circuit hot water heats the sanitary water (Allpa boiler), with an electric resistor to heat water when docked. The boat has a three-blade bronze propeller, a three-blade aluminum propeller, and a Max-prop bipale 19-inch propeller. An additional 40A 24V shaft alternator. Power is transmitted via a Centaflex coupling to the shaft.

The electrical installation was completely revised in 2013 and has three safety levels. It consists of three circuits of 12V, 24V DC, and 230V AC. A 12V battery for the engine and four serial 220Ah batteries for the house. An electronic charge regulator (Balmar Max-Charge, 2003). Four parallel-series polycrystalline solar panels with MPPT regulator. A Victron 24V-12V converter, a 24V to 12V 20A converter (Industrial Power Series), a 3000W inverter, a leak tester (2016), a Victron battery management system, a Dolphin 24V 40A battery charger, and a Victron galvanic isolator (3600W).
