Registered in Le Havre at 13 tons gross, her overall length was 45.9 feet and she had an 8.3 foot beam and a draught of 6..4feet. Her sails were made by the famous Ratsey and spread a total of 839 square feet when all set. Shown on this fan under full sail, she is flying the burgee of the Yacht Club of France at her mizzen top.
