Engine
Extensively modernized with a 36kWh lithium energy system, this yacht delivers true silent living, allowing the air conditioning, watermaker, induction galley, and household appliances to run directly from the batteries without relying on a generator.
Reliability and self-sufficiency were clearly at the center of every upgrade. Twin Yanmar 4JH4AE 53hp mechanical diesel engines provide dependable propulsion without the complexity of modern electronic systems, while the saildrive lower legs were renewed in 2022 for additional peace of mind.
