To make the transition for the new owner easy, the current owner has agreed to give advice and tips. A so-called total package.

She is equipped with a 28 HP Yanmar from 2014 and normal service and maintenance has been carried out, last service in 2023.
Flirt IV has been upgraded to still claim the top spot in regattas 111 years after she was built. Mast, standing rigging, running rigging, genoa, jib and mainsail were replaced in 2014.
