The boat is powered by a Baudouin engine, renowned for its durability, ease of maintenance, and availability of spare parts – a great choice for serious cruisers.
The engine seems to been well maintained, first by the previous owner (a professional pusher tug captain) and then by the current owner, who has ensured regular annual servicing.
A bow thruster is also installed, making close-quarters manoeuvring much easier, especially in locks or tight harbours.
On the electrical side, the two engine starter batteries are only one year old 110Ah 925A and the 76.8Ah lithium service battery was installed in 2019.

Construction

| Underwater profile | Full-displacement |
| Finish | Paint finish |
Steel-built in the 1980s, this vessel seems to shows signs of regular and responsible upkeep, with two recent surveys - one in 2018 and another in 2024.
During the most recent inspection, several hull plates were doubled to meet current thickness standards for underwater sections.
One of this boat’s key advantages is its shortened length to 19.90m, placing it just under the 20m threshold and thus avoiding the more complex administrative requirements. This structural modification also gave the owner the perfect opportunity to repaint both hull and deck, giving the boat a clean, well-maintained appearance and a fresh start for its next chapter.

Access to the boat is easy via the bow or the side. As soon as you step aboard, you're greeted by the boat’s standout feature: a generous sundeck finished with wooden cladding, stretching all the way to the bow – a perfect outdoor living space for relaxing or entertaining.
From the sundeck, you enter a bright and spacious saloon, with enough room to accommodate two sofa beds for guests.
Adjacent to the saloon is the first bathroom with toilet, leading into a well-equipped galley, arranged on both sides of the passage.
As with the rest of the boat, the galley is fully electric, including an induction cooktop.
Just three steps up and towards the aft, you'll find the wheelhouse (coach house) – a flooded-with-light space that serves as both helm station and dining area, especially appreciated when not dining on the sundeck.
Further aft is the master cabin, featuring a 150x190 cm double bed, a large shower, toilet, sink, and plenty of storage (including under-bed drawers and built-in cupboards). The cabin also offers a generous headroom of 186 cm, ensuring excellent liveaboard comfort.
