Good boat for those who want to sail.

The overall condition was very good except for the closures of the cupboards....

Good set of sails.

The conditions were sometimes tough with more than 25 or 30 knots, the boat responded very well.

We had bought a boom cover before leaving, it's essential in Croatia, it's the only thing that was missing on board.

Great staff everyone very professional made it a pleasant and easy charter

It would be advisable to take a reserve canister with diesel since 45 liters is not much, and after 2 days of motor sailing, you really have to start thinking about the next gas station.

Very good contact with the renter who speaks good English. Make sure to check the inventory carefully, as some small items were missing but were provided quickly and without discussion by the renter. The boat was clean and well equipped. The binoculars need to be reviewed. Some boats from the yacht week were very (too) close. The music was too loud, and the nightclub lights were temporarily silenced by the marina manager. The only effective remedy: move away quickly to reach the open sea. The weather was capricious with 25-35 knots on Sunday, which prevented us from leaving the marina before 4 PM. But there was beautiful sunshine and a spinnaker to sail down to Solta. Wonderful sailing afterwards to Hvar, Vis, and back to Solta. Sunshine, a bit of wind, and what landscapes! The moorings are taken by reversing to dock at the quay and retrieving the bow lines that are attached to a concrete block in front of the boat. A new concept for a first time in the Mediterranean, but you get used to it quickly. Be sure to check the weather every day. On Friday, there was a storm warning with possible 35-50 knots. We made a smooth return under the sun, with a spinnaker and 5-10 knots. But in the evening after the inventory, there was a big storm, with winds up to 50 knots, and the boat heeled beyond 45 degrees in the marina under moorings... Overall, very positive and would do it again as soon as possible.
