Compagnie 116 is a beautiful classic ocean going yacht. She sails well, is very solid and has a nice and safe centre cockpit layout. With the powerful Ford diesel engine and bow thruster the yacht is easy manoeuvrable. Over the past years we have invested a lot in her, and we hope that the new owner will treat her like with the same care, so the Compagnie116 can continue sailing the seas for many years to come.
Some of the improvements/investments we made, that are worthwhile mentioning:
- Mainsail adapted ; equipped with Rake trolley system for easier hoisting (2019)
- 4 Victron Energy gel batteries, 4x 165ah (2017)
- Victron energy multiplus charger & inverter (2018)
- Improved the safety of the electric circuit by installing 2 new earth leakage circuit breakers (2021)
- NUC Mini-pc / navigation system which fully integrates with the central network.
- The System runs on Window 10 and Stentec software.
- 2 screens (one in the cockpit), configured as duplicate
- Automatic bilge-pump positioned in the centre of the ship (2021)
- New deck installed; removed rust and primed steel structure under the deck, and installed the wood/epoxy deck with rockwool isolation (2022)
- 2 new GEBO hatches (2022)
- Replaced the autopilot; B&G Nac-3 including a Triton2 display in the cockpit. Autopilot can steer via compass, wind and route (GPS)
- Flexible waterinlet installed (2023)
- AIS transceiver 5w which integrates with the navigation PC (2023)
