We advise interested parties to carefully inspect the woodwork and consider the necessary maintenance, as the wood is very dry. There is, for instance, a shrinkage crack on the port side forward. The restoration carried out around 2008 has preserved the original character while allowing for modern adaptations, such as the electric motor. Since the restoration, the boat has not been sailed, meaning it is dry and the wood will need to expand when launched.Includes Road Trailer with License PlateThe sale includes a road trailer with a license plate, which significantly facilitates the transport and storage of the boat.
