Solvay 124

Solvay 124 was built in 1963 in Chalon-sur-Saône and registered as NY3662F.  All information is taken from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless otherwise stated.

Solvay 124 was put up for sale in 1987, the year the Solvay fleet ended, when Henry and Sergine Fournier transferred to the factory. It was bought by a Mr. Joël C. who named it Calvi. In the 2000s, its owner converted it into a pushed convoy with the Kei-VI. Today, in 2025, it's still sailing!
