The hull was built by the factory in Atlantis South Africa (www.deancatamarans.com) and then the interior was completed by a professional boat yard. Most of the factory suppliers were used where appropriate. The interior is paneled with red alder giving it a light homely feel. It was launched in April 2008 and then made ready for the trip across the Altantic that started in November 2009. It has four double cabins in each end of the boat. The two front cabins are on suite, while the back two cabins share the day central toilets. She is fitted with all the latest technology from the full Raymarine navigation equipement including the AIS (ship identification system) and autopilot to LED lighting throughout the boat.
