This one-of-a-kind vessel was originally a high-seas commercial trawler launched in 1973. She was purchased by the current owner as an empty hull with integrated fuel tanks but without deck, superstructure or machinery.

Starting with an excellent hull as a blank slate, the current owner undertook a very thorough, 100% keel-up refit, which was substantially completed in 2010 with additional hull and system enhancements made continuously through 2022.

She currently has 50,000 liters of fuel on board with additional fuel capacity that will give her an 18,000 nautical mile range.

She is constructed of Naval grade steel with:

• 12.5 mm garboards
• 25 mm keel
• 10 mm naval grade steel (A131)

She has a new deck of 6MM naval steel laid in 2004. All new machinery, electrics/electronics, plumbing, anchors/chain, windlass, bulbous bow and furnishings followed soon thereafter.

For stability, she has bilge keels on both sides, with the Portside bilge keel added in May 2022.
