As it was written in the article the boat became a "Floating maintenance bill". It is 100% true. No warranty, no after sales service, builder (Kompan Marine, anā personaly Alexander Taranenko) received the money and disappeared ! Every listed above details was repaired for own account, over 30k Euros invested in reparations durin only one year, now selling with 50% discount. It is better to buy new Archambault, Pogo, Beneteau or any other boat for the money we spent on this boat.
