May has begun 📆 …

Chanal from Les Sables d'Olonne corso - arrival of first Vendée Globe winner from 1990

… and yesterday, with our IY LBV35 ⛵⛵, we were at the reception parade of the first Vendée Globe ⛵🌍 winner 🎉 from 1990, Titouan Lamazou. He came back to Les Sables d’Olonne on board of his former Vendée Globe racer Écureuil d’Aquitaine II, 33 years after the race.

Today, we are making final preparations 🔧 of our Open60AAL for the watering 🌊, with the strong support of Mathis, a student at the Lycée Tabarly and doing his practical training with us. This work includes final touches to the “volcano design” 🖌🌋 and protecting the propellers against fouling.
