Broker's comments

In 1976 Jose Caporaso ordered a comfortable and fast cruising ketch designed by German Frers to built in the most traditional way in wood by Belarmino Sarmiento in Buenos Aires. Interiors were made also in strong but light African woods. Launched in 1983 she started her first long passage to Brazil in 1985 and in 1988 she was sold to a Spanish owner for a circumnavigation until 2000. Since 2014 sailed and refurbished in the UK by her present owner who took full advantage of the safe simplicity of her effortless passage making in variable wind conditions.
