She was built to Eugene Cornu plans by Vandernotte shipyard in Nantes, France in 1961.
Eugene Cornu (1903-1987) designed the plans for many pleasure boats, renowned for both their elegance and strength. In the world of yachting, "Cornu" became a common name. The 1950s and 1960s saw the development of recreational boating, several drawings of E. Cornu gave birth to types of boats, manufactured in series like the famous "Beluga".
She is a cruiser/racer design.
The Vandernotte yard was also famous in this time for producing quality workmanship.
Other boats of this Cornu/Vandernotte combination include”Lady Mone” and “Rose Noire II” which are both listed as National heritage in France.
She was originally built for the “Societe Civile de voile et courses croisieres” in Paris who registered her home port as Algiers. She has her original papers !
She was then purchased in 1968 by Phillipe Barbier-Bouvet and Michel Bernadet who sailed her in the Med for 20 years.
She then spent a short time in Turkey before changing hands again to Gerhard Richert and Monique Van der Post who sailed her as “REMIS” for 19 years across the atlantic and the pacific, eventually arriving in Langkawi island, Malaysia.
Her present owner and restorer purchased her in Dec 2008 and returned her name to her original.

RESTORATION DETAILS.
She was slipped and pressure washed.
The planking looked to be fairly sound but when the anti-fouling was removed, some planks were found to have worm damage,these planks were replaced.
All of the original caulking was removed and the fastenings inspected.
The majority of fastenings were good but a few were replaced.
The topsides were stripped of paint and the old sponson removed.
A small amount of rot was present along the top edge of the top plank so some cap pieces were fitted.
She was re-caulked traditionally with oakum then the seams payed with 3M below the waterline.
The stem had a slight bit of damage from a bump some time ago and a new piece was scarfed in and bolted through.
The keel bolts were inspected and were sound.
