Owners Comments and Boat History

Originally purchased in the UK and registered in Germany under the name Eau de la Vie, the vessel crossed the Atlantic and was lightly used in Panama before being acquired by the current owner in 2016.

Following purchase, she was cruised in Panama in early 2017, then sailed to Florida over three months in winter 2018, followed by cruising in the Bahamas in winter 2019. During this period, she received new paint, a watermaker, stern thrusters, bow thruster, and cockpit cushions (2019).

In early 2020, she was used briefly before being placed into storage in Cape Canaveral due to Covid, where she underwent generator installation, engine inspection and servicing including scoping and acid washing, and a full rigging inspection.

In early 2024, she completed a three-month passage to the British Virgin Islands, where she is currently located.
