About the Boat

36' 8" overall.  21' beam

She was built in Vienna, Austria using the molded plywood technique that results in a strong, lightweight boat with wonderful lines.  This method of multiple layers of epoxy soaked plies laid over a light hardwood frame results in a nearly indestructible airframe like structure.  It is epoxy sealed inside and out.  It is difficult to believe it is 25 years old.  It is dry.  I think it is unsinkable and would survive even severe trauma. You must examine this boat very carefully to get a good understanding of just how good it is.

She was meticulously built. Every joint is done to cabinetmaker standards. Even the lifelines and stanchions are as nicely done as one would expect of a factory boat.  The interior cabinetry also reflects the same professional attention and detailing.
