Description
The owner bought Michaella in July 2020 when she was a one-owner boat in pristine condition still professionally maintained but out of use from five years (2015) due to health problem of her owner.
The North Hydranet genoa was new from the last season that the boat was sailed in 2015, this is the reason why I did not replaced it. Her teak deck and Lewmar hatches were new from 2010, the deck was never sanded since.
