- luxury yacht with small crew for round-the-world voyages with historical details playing no part in the vessel's construction
- she has highly automated sail equipment with roller reefing gears for all sails
- after launching, a number of errors were established in the ship's design, which made it necessary to change the masts and keel
- ran aground of the Portuguese coast, further repairs carried out until 1989, including improved nautical equipment
- now a cruise liner, e.g. in the Mediterranean
