Boomerang is a lovely example of the Fountaine Pajot Saona 47. Mainly sailed in the Mediterranean, and very well maintained. Set up for off the grid liveaboard. All electrical systems and appliances are connected through the inverter to allow everything on board to be run off the batteries and solar panels. This includes heating hot water, running the watermaker, washing machine, dishwasher, and galley appliances.

The starboard hull houses two nice-sized sleeping cabins, each with large double berths and en-suite head.
