Despite the fact that this boat is more than a hundred years old, I am sure that it deserves your attention. The condition of the boat is close to perfect. It was watched, cared for and constantly updated.

Initially, these boats were built for fishing in the harsh northern seas, so the hull of the boat is made of durable thick oak. Over the past two years, a lot of restoration work has been done with this boat. All varnished surfaces are annually covered with new layers of varnish. All brass and bronze are polished. Most of the decor is covered with fresh paint. The tabletops and cabin doors are made of solid oak. The floor in the cockpit is laid with new teak.

The boat has all the necessary sails: mainsail, foresail, jib, topsail and storm jib. The age of the sails is unknown, but they are all in good condition. All the running rigging was replaced with a new one.

In spring, 2021, a new Volvo Penta MD2030D engine was installed on the boat, as well as the exhaust and cooling systems were replaced.

The boat also has new modern equipment: a chartplotter, an echo sounder, a wind force meter, a new toilet, a new stove with two burners, a new septic tank, new fenders, etc.

It’s not easy to find such projects in such good condition on the market. Such a classic boat may be interesting for those who are looking for a boat for commercial activity. It will definitely stand out from the rest of the yachts and attract a large count of views.
