The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.
Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.

Note: VAT Status
Vessel had previously (until 2020 purchase) always been on the Italian Flag which is directly linked to VAT/Tax. Purchase contract 1995 was handled as normal by a Notary in Italy, a public officer and SOSTITUTO D'IMPOSTA, which means they have to pay the due taxes to the state if not correctly paid in the contract. Therefore there is no issue with VAT. (but no actual VAT invoice is available)
Manufacturers Description:
This is a true blue water classic, built from 1982 - 1997 with 89 hulls completed. It is a superb boat for world wide cruising, with ample space for all possible equipment. Her clean flush deck is highly appreciated. In the beginning, she was only built as a ketch. In the end, almost only sloop rigs were ordered.
