Michael Heidelmann has a new one, an oak gaff ketch. Unfortunately, he can't set sail with it straight away, as the elderly lady is already over 90 years old and no longer quite fit. And that's actually a euphemism, because she was already dying. The new owner would like to save her and has already achieved a great deal. Nevertheless, there is still a long way between him and his happiness with "Cleone".
