In 2023 the ship was registered (Dutch flag), she was branded and microdots were applied to the ship.
Fresh antifouling in 2024 and then also a new anchor winch (Lofrans 1700) was installed, including remote control with counter.

Boat is equipped with many spare parts, even a completely new propeller is on board!
The „HORIZON“ is a beautiful and classic „Koopmans“ design, and almost in new condition, with many upgrades. Her unique positive transom, modified by the previous owner, gives her much more living space outside. She sails beautifully, no sea is too high, no wind too strong. She was the faithful companion for nearly 10 years and has been the previous owner’s home in part for the last three years.
