A wooden dhow built in 1990 at Buteen Jetty in Abu Dhabi. Her former owner was Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, ruler of Abu Dhabi and President of the United Arab Emirates.
In August 2003 she was shipped to the International Gardening Exhibition in Rostock, Germany, to mark the UAE National Day. After the exhibition she was taken over by the youth ship association Likedeeler e.V.
She makes occasional trips with guests, though not under sail.
