Solvay 83, registration NY3149F, was built in 1932 at Villeneuve la Garenne with a 30 hp Deutz engine. Unless stated otherwise all information on this page is taken from Vagus-Vagrant.fr.
Solvay 83 was put up for sale in 1983 by Solvay when Ralph Raviart transferred to Solvay 66. It was bought by Mr. Robin, a boatman in Saint-Mammès (77), who renamed it "Susten." This boat has now been scrapped.
Here's Solvay 83 in the port of Antwerp in 1978:
