About the boat, the plans, and current crew

The yacht is made of carbon and Kevlar. It was completely refit in 2016. In 2020 and 2023, we updated the boat again. I have been sailing around the planet for nearly 10 years now. The yacht is fast and safe, making it very enjoyable to be at the helm under sail in Fiji. I am familiar with the sailing area of Fiji, having navigated in this region for three years. The boat is spacious and comfortable, allowing us to explore the islands at our own pace. As a professional 200 Sailing Captain, I would be happy to share my knowledge of navigation with you.
