Mechanical and Rigging

Her engine is a Yanmar diesel 75hp from 2010 with 1.050h and is in excellent condition. The exhaustive 1.000h maintenance (incl. new impeller housing, gear oil change, etc.) was done in April 2023. 

She's very safe to sail with all lines leading back to the cockpit. Her robust build and smooth bow with deep bilge allow her to weather any waves and wind conditions. And with her draft of 1.7m, she can go where usually only much smaller boats or catamarans can go – especially in the Bahamas.

She has enough solar and wind energy generation capabilities to be independent of any shore or fossil power source. The dinghy is large and powerful enough for six persons or extensive provisioning runs. 

Español: 

Su motor es un Yanmar diésel de 75 hp del año 2010 con 1.050 horas de uso y se encuentra en excelente estado. El mantenimiento exhaustivo de las 1.000 horas (incluyendo el cambio de carcasa del impulsor, cambio de aceite de engranajes, etc.) se realizó en abril de 2023.

Es muy segura para navegar, ya que todas las líneas conducen de vuelta a la bañera. Su construcción robusta y su proa suave con una sentina profunda le permiten enfrentar cualquier condición de olas y viento. Con un calado de 1,7 metros, puede acceder a lugares donde normalmente solo embarcaciones mucho más pequeñas o catamaranes pueden ir, especialmente en las Bahamas.

Tiene suficientes capacidades de generación de energía solar y eólica para ser completamente independiente de cualquier fuente de energía de tierra o de combustibles fósiles. El dinghy es lo suficientemente grande y potente para transportar a seis personas o realizar largas compras de provisiones.
