State-of-the-art design

After nearly 4 years of research and development, we have designed a modern cargo sailboat fully adapted to our needs: Our vessel meets international shipping standards certified by independent experts: Bureau Véritas and the Centre de Sécurité des Navires. It complies with SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) and STCW (International Convention on Standards of Training for Seafarers) regulations. Under the RIF (Registre International Français) flag, it is registered in Marseille, but its home port remains Saint-Malo.
