The almost 35 metre long blue-water slup is the first unit in the mini-series with deckhouse and lift keel. Farr Yacht Design constructed the hull, the appendages and the rig, while Nauta Design styled the exterior and interior. The shipyard with Italian management and production site in Cape Town installed the owner's area in the foredeck, three guest cabins amidships and the crew quarters and galley aft. Before delivery, sea trials in the windy Table Bay are on the agenda.
