Hull painted with two layers of two-component epoxy. Last hull maintenance (at l'Allemand shipyard), hull survey, and expertise in May 2024. On this occasion, exterior paints were redone (two layers of two-component epoxy). Previous hull maintenance also at l'Allemand shipyard in September 2020.

Small lateral keels to aid in the boat's stability. The bottom was doubled in 1996 with 5 mm plates.

Steel diesel tank (900 L) and stainless steel water tank (800 L). The old domestic fuel tank can be converted into a black water tank (900 L).

Insulation:
- Insulated hull with aluminum insulating sheets and rice husk plates.

- All boat windows are double-glazed (quite rare).

You enter the boat via the aft deck. Here, a large double-glazed veranda allows you to enter the boat from the sides or the stern. In this light-filled saloon, there is a headroom of 1.90 meters. This space can be transformed into a cabin for your guests with its convertible sofa bed measuring 190 x 140 and blackout curtains on all four sides of the room. Two hatches on the floor of this room provide access to the engine compartment of the boat.

Towards the bow, a step leads us to the kitchen and dining area of the boat. Here, with a headroom of 1.94 meters, the kitchen is very well-equipped with a 4-burner gas stove, extractor hood, sink, Bosch dishwasher (12/2014), freezer (12/2020), A++ Kallnat fridge (01/2015). An immense workspace and integrated kitchen furniture (03/2015) provide ample space for cooking and storage. This room is also well-equipped with 220V outlets, as you can see in my photos and videos.

In the center of the room, you'll find the boat's helm position, which offers a 360° view thanks to its numerous windows.

Heating on the boat is provided by two 220V Delonghi radiators (new in 01/2020), one located in the kitchen and the other in the forward cabin.

Moving towards the bow, just after a step, you'll find an LG 8 KG washer/dryer on the starboard side (new in 11/2014) and a semi-macerating toilet on the port side (08/2020). In the toilet area, there is a headroom of 1.82 meters.

Further forward, separated by a door, is the large cabin of the boat with a headroom of 1.84 meters. Here, there is a beautiful sink with a mirror, and a TV on the starboard side facing the central bed measuring 190 x 140. On either side of the bed, there are storage compartments and ample space to move around.

Finally, on the port side of this cabin, there is a lovely shower equipped with a bathtub. The Ariston gas instant water heater, new in 01/2020, allows you to enjoy showers or baths as long as you like.
