Monsters Day…

A team member, wearing an overal with a hood, is painting the bulb of the keel with fluo antifouling.

Because the central keel of our Open60 is getting its final coat of paint today 🎨 – the fluorescent anti-fouling – and, understandably, I hope I’ll never need this safety marking in an emergency situation😊

The keel was certainly the problem child of 2023, but together with our partner AMPM and Hydroem, we agree that all issues should now be resolved. ✅

All moving parts have been overhauled or replaced, and the hydraulic control system has also been replaced, so this time ‘the Sea Monster’ should deliver not only performance but also endurance. ⛵
