TeApiTi is a great example of her class.  She had many customs features incorporated into her build particularly in terms of some lovely joinery details.   This owner has sailed her extensively but has also refitted her extensively.   Much of this work was done at Berthon to ensure total reliability, comfort and ease of sailing for 2 people.  Her in-boom furling systems works perfectly and she continues to give excellent service.
