Purchased by the current owners in October 2013, she has since undergone extensive refurbishment and has been cruised widely across France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Poland, accumulating approximately 20,000nm and passing through around 800 locks. She is, in the words of her owners, "a good and happy ship." Hull & Deck Steel hull, 4mm, V-bottom hard chine displacement form Full repaint in 2018 – off white hull and deck with blue stripes Underwater surfaces taken back to bare steel and re-epoxied in 2014. Air draft: 4.7m maximum; 3.5m with radar arch down; 3.15m with canopy down Fuel Consumption Proven economical running costs: averaging just 1.2L/nm across a full season of approximately 2,000nm including tidal Thames passages, North Sea crossings and European inland waterway cruising.
