Brought to Brittany in early 2020 and enjoyed motoring on the River Vilaine but only c.25 engine hours. Planned to voyage on the Vilaine and the canals of Brittany but long-running, comprehensive building renovation has prevented us from doing so. We now have triplet grandchildren in Denmark and don't foresee having the time to enjoy motoring in this classic boat.
Exterior photos taken in c.2019. The exterior is less pretty, the varnish having been replaced with a polymer wood treatment which penetrates and protects the wood. The interior is virtually unchanged from the original restoration.
