English
A turn-key liveaboard cruising boat ready to go. Much loved and meticulously cared for, but now we must move on to new land-based adventures (a baby!).
Here are some of the headline upgrades made to the boat before we bought her.
> New rigging in 2021.
> Engine refurb in 2020/ 2021. Fuel pump, injectors, new starter motor, gearbox.
> New sole boards (flooring) throughout, in 2020/ 2021.
We bought her in early 2022 and carried out an extensive re-fit:
> Installed 600 Amp hours of Renogy LiFEPO4 lithium batteries, this is complete with a Victron Multiplus II, which can charge the batteries at 120 Amps per hour off of shore power, and it also creates 240V electricity from the batteries via the inverter, up to 3,000W of power. All of this is managed through a Victron Cerbo GX and touchscreen at the nav table showing you the state of charge, and current power draw/ generation.
> This means you have a constant source of 240V electricity onboard, which provides a few creature comforts. We have electric-only cooking onboard, no gas. There is a two burner induction hob and two-drawer Ninja air fryer as the oven. The 240V inverter can also help provide hot water via the 30-litre calorifier (new in 2022), also plumbed into the engine coolant loop.
> The batteries charge off of the shorepower connection, via the 875w of solar panels (Victron MPPT controllers), or via the engine (Victron DC/DC charger at 30 amps).
> The boat was entirely re-plumbed with JG push-fit plastic pipe throughout in 2022. An expansion tank was added, and a new Whale Pump W-UF1215 was installed.
> We commissioned a stainless steel stern arch to be built, and integrated into the existing pushpit. This arch acts as the mount for 525w (3 panels) of the 175w solar panels, with a further 2 of the 175w panels mounted on the guard rails, to bring us to 875w total. The stainless steel arch also acts as a dinghy hoist with a whole D-frame lowering/ raising.
> We re-decorated throughout, painting a lot of the walls white, but leaving the original trim pieces round doorframes, etc in their varnished state.
> A whole new navigation panel was installed at the nav table. New switchboards, every wire fused. As part of the re-build a new Garmin GPS1022 chartplotter was installed along with Vesper XB-6000 AIS transponder.
> We have also painted the decks with KiwiGrip. A previous owner had previously sprayed the deck/ hull over the original gelcoat. This left some parts of the deck quite slippy. Hence we painted the decks with KiwiGrip, which stopped our dog and us from slipping!
> The boat will be sold with a 3D tender, 2.5 metre long, 1.5 metre wide with a Mercury 6 horsepower outboard. Included in the price.
> Included in the price is also a host of spares. Spares list include shaft anode, exhaust gasket, alternator belts, water filters, engine impellers, outboard fuel tank connectors, oil filters, ignition start switch, diesel engine thermostat, primary fuel filters, secondary fuel filters, top end gasket kit, prop lock washer, hatch gaskets, hatch handles, bilge pumps, windlass switches.

Both chartplotters have 2021/ 2022 SD cards with charts for the whole of the Mediterranean.
There are various GMI20, and GNX20 display instruments in the cockpit which show boat speed, wind speed, etc. Any number of variables you are interested in.
Note that the autopilot control unit is also in the cockpit, this is a GHC50 touchscreen. You can control the autopilot from down below via the GPS1022 chartplotter too. You can steer by compass course, wind heading (apparent or true), or it can follow a plotted course.
