Detailed inventory: Construction and history

Strongal aluminum boat: 10mm bottom, bulkhead, deck, deckhouse in 8mm, cockpit in 6mm, keel in 20mm by the Meta shipyard in Tarare based on Michel Joubert's plans.
The first owner bought the bare hull and took about 12 years to complete the woodwork. Following a stroke shortly after launching in 2012, he was forced to cancel his sailing project. The boat then remained dry at Grau du Roi, which prevented it from deteriorating.
The current owner is a professional skipper, former shipyard manager, who has spent most of his career in boating. He bought the boat in 2018 and completed the equipment according to modern standards and his extensive sailing experience.
A thermal and acoustic anti-slip insulation was installed (5mm Seacork panels). All the electricity has been redone, with only a few original cables remaining. The electronics have been installed, the plumbing redone, and the safety system reviewed, with the installation of hard railings, a mast balcony, a handrail overhanging the cockpit, and lifelines.
Refits or major work (years):
2018: deck covering, adaptation of fittings for single-handed sailing
2019: electricity and plumbing, ultrasonic antifouling system, AIS and Axiom
