THE CANDIDE IS FOR SOLD!
After completion of our journey, our fantastic CANDIDE is now sold through Bach Yachting (www.bachyachting.nl)
With tears in our eyes we said goodbye to Candide a couple of weeks ago when the new owners picked her up from her slip in yacht harbour in Enkhuizen.
The yacht is lying now in Jachtharbour Waterland in Monnickendam Holland. So if you sailing by there, please keep a lookout for her and say hello. We hope she'll be well taken care of.
Below you'll find a detailed inventory factsheet.
