Welcome aboard of SV LIMA
SV LIMA is a sailing vessel type Contest 46S built in 1990 in the Netherlands.
This vessel is really what we call a ship.
Fully Bluewater equipped it brakes perfectly through the waves. Due to its heavy weight and the centre cockpit it is pretty comfortable to sail even in harsh conditions. With a sailing area of around 115 square meters and the design of the vessel the 20 tons of the boat are being moved very well also in light wind.
