Built by Mohammed Hamada in Alexandria in 1950 the current owners have had her since 1965.In that time they have cruised the Eastern Med extensively as well as a voyage to the Caribbean and another to Brazil. In 1974 Mohammed's younger brother, Moustafa, rebuilt the decks, bulwark and interior. In 1989 the mast and spars were overhauled and all the rigging was renewed.
