Wahkuna needs frequent work done and although we enjoyed sailing, discovering new places and making new friends with her, every time we are in a new marina, we take the time to work on her to keep her afloat.

Wahkuna a besoin de maintenances fréquentes et bien que nous aimions faire de la voile, découvrir de nouveaux horizons et nous faire de nouveaux amis avec elle, chaque fois que nous sommes dans une marina, nous prenons le temps de faire quelques travaux de rénovation ou de remise à niveau. La liste des travaux et réparations faite est unique rédigée en anglais.
