About the Boat & Our Project
We are selling our sailboat because our project ends here in Australia: a one-year journey from France to Australia without taking a plane.
It's an easy-to-handle, robust, fast, and reassuring boat that has proven perfectly reliable throughout all our crossings.
As a bonus, its side galley layout offers real comfort for life onboard.
In one year of sailing, we've had no major issues -- only routine maintenance.
Apart from a haul-out and a few basic touch-ups, it's ready to set off again for a new adventure.
Whether for a similar journey or coastal cruising, we can only recommend it.
