A 44' overall sloop/cutter, she is strongly build and well tested by
countless miles of trans-ocean sailing and racing. Despite her successful racing
career, with many world sailing records, she has always had a nice mahogany
interior suitable for comfortable accommodation of a larger crew. Her strong
rigging with three solid rod furling/reefing, great number of self tailing
winches, deep cockpit and strong doghouse/navigation-station, powerful autopilot
and more made her very suitable for safe shorthanded world wide sailing and
cruising. She was built in 1979 by well renowned shipyard in Szczecin/Poland. She has finished
few times overhaul maintenance,
usualy before great sailing races. During last overhaul for cruising purposes the new Yanmar diesel engine was installed and almost everything
was refurbished, consisting of 2,819 working hours.
