Another successful launching!

The Open60AAL at the Vendee Globe pontoon in Port Olona, Les Sables d'Olonne - ANT ARCTIC LAB

The Open60AAL is now in his real home port: Port Olona, Les Sables d’Olonne! ⛵

Yesterday was a long but successful day! Everything went finally well, with some troubleshooting during the route. 🔧As you know if you ever experienced this kind of adventure, sometimes things are going perfect and sometimes, a little less! 😉

But, thanks to the engagement of fans, friends and team, the boat can now be meticulously prepared to go and ride the waves! 🌊 So, today, we continue with the rigging. As you can imagine, there are a lot of ropes, a lot of splices and knots to tie and some other to untie! 😉
