Broker's Comments

This unique polar expedition sailboat is for sale in South Brittany, France.
Initially built for famous RORC cruise in 1970, she was transformed in 1994 by two famous scientists for their polar expeditions, to endure extreme navigations with comfort.
If you are looking for an aluminium boat for sale, you might take a look at this very interesting alternative, a tough wooden boat whith a long polar experience.
This boat has made 16 polar scientific expeditions (3 to 7 month each).
This boat is very well equipped, with many spare parts, and was maintained by two very careful owners.
