This vessel is the largest FEADSHIP built between 1925 and 1960. She was built as a private yacht for Phs. van Ommeren, the owner of a shipping company in the Netherlands. She features in the Feadship Pilot Magazine 1992, at www.sailingyachtiduna.com and the De Vries/Feadship book 1998.

Since 1999 she has undergone an extensive rebuilt/refit program during which particular attention has been paid to her classic looks. Resulting in her being restored to her previous splendor. This breathtaking ketch commands attention in any harbor she enters and to sail her brings you back to the "golden age" of yachting. She has a rating as "Yacht d' époque" from C.I.M. Committee International de la Mediterranea, that allows you to join the Classic regatta's in the Med.
The present owner is restoring a larger yacht from the twenties.
