Solvay 41

Solvay 41, registration NY2429F, was a boat that Solvay-Dombasle bought back from the Solvay factory in Sarralbe on October 15, 1921, for the sum of 12,000.38 francs. It was built in Saverne, at the Baernklau shipyard (Bärnklaw - Baernklau - Bärnklau), in 1907, and powered in 1928 by a 20hp Kromhout engine, then by a Deutz-Diesel engine of the same power.

Solvay 41 was sold in 1965; it was bought by the couple Roger and Yvette D. who gave it the motto "Reynold". After about ten years of sailing, it was scrapped at the Teliier/Leconte shipyard in Douai (59) around 1975.
