Le Marin / Martinique / French Antiles / Caribbean
The boat has been in Le Marin, Martinique for 6 years under the care of professional carer AZURE SPIRIT.
It will be available for viewing in Luperon shortly.
I bought the boat in 2016 from Greece with inspection report.
I changed the motor, sails, navigation equipment.
With the current configuration, I participated in ARC 2017 Gran Canaria - Saint Lucia where it won 1st place in class E and 8th place in general boats.
The boat has no damage or other problems.
The facilities are those in the list below.
In the last 6 years it has been used only in January and February.
The boat is ready for sailing around the world.
