The Andromeda is a decrepit tub. The sides of the vessel are dented and scraped from too many adventuresome docking maneuvers while the porous pipes in the head exude a fecal stench.

Other sailors hardly take any notice at all of the sloop: Just another worn charter vessel like so many others on the Baltic Sea.
The perfect yacht if you're looking to avoid attracting attention.
