The goal was to go for the archipelago of the Isles of Scilly in Cornwall, a type of holy grail in the training course of the Breton navigator. Indeed, upon returning from such navigation, the navigator will have crisscrossed the seas where all the difficulties, but also the greatest interest in navigation, are concentrated: one of the world's largest tidal ranges, strong currents, coastal navigations in the middle rocks, moorings in many islands, uprivers, but also the round trip offshore crossing of the English Channel, where the world's heaviest maritime traffic is concentrated.

This cruise's navigator will be able to contemplate ocean navigation with calm and thus explore the maritime universe. Don't get me wrong: it's about more than simply navigation."

After passing Cap Fréhel, we depart from Saint-Malo and go down the Brittany coast. Depending on the weather, we may begin crossing the English Channel after passing the Ile de Bréhat, or we may continue our coastal navigation along the Côte de Granite Rose, or we may even cross the Bay of Morlaix to get to Roscoff while waiting for a favorable wind that will allow us to head directly for the Isles of Scilly. It is not unusual to see schools of dolphins along the route, as well as a basking shark or a sunfish. We shall not miss a visit to Hugh Town on the main island of Saint-Mary's for a drink at the legendary tavern The Mermaid.

Then stop at Saint-Agnes for some local ice cream, then go see the seals at the Western Rocks, and last enjoy the Island of Tresco's magnificent semi-subtropical garden. The journey continues with a visit to another Finistere, this time in Britain, and a new coastal navigation in Cornwall and Devon: crossing the Bay of Penzance and its twin Mont Saint-Michel, the Saint-Michael Mount. Crossing the famed Cape Lizard to traverse Plymouth's spectacular bay and its many rivers and attractive tiny ports: Helford River, Falmouth River, Fowey River, River Yealm, Salcombe,...

Our sailboat is a one-of-a-kind Randonneur 12m created by renowned naval architect Mark Lombard. It is a boat intended for voyage without regard for dimension. Everything has been done to achieve a quick boat while adhering to the standards meant for blue sea sailing, i.e. a sailboat with exceptional road stability, the capacity to handle a big load, and great solidity for the security required by this program.

Despite having a reinforced sampling, the boat is lighter than a series construction because to the strip planking process's epoxy wood composite construction approach. It is a sandwich of fiberglass, red cedar wood, and epoxy resin that strikes a balance between lightweight, stiffness, solidity, and insulation.

Despite its trip boat program, it was planned and built with a genuine care for performance, sensations, and safety. Its hull is evocative of those used in ocean racing, and it influenced the construction of the first Class 40s as well as many modern cruising sailboats, notably the RM Yachts series, for which it is the original design.

The designer created a broad hull with a big inner capacity for habitability and a huge surface area at deck level for mobility and idleness. It includes three staterooms, a huge saloon, a large galley (essential for cooking on a boat), and a large chart table excellent for preparation for sailing and briefings before each departure.

It has all of the typical conveniences that may be enjoyed on a contemporary sailboat without succumbing to unnecessary indulgences, such as pressurized hot water, toilets, a sink area in each cabin, a deck shower that allows you to rinse off after swimming or shower outside, and heating.

It features a cutter rig with a 49 m2 Pro Radial square-headed mainsail with 3 reefs, a 43 m2 Pro Radial furling jib, a huge 22 m2 Pro Radial staysail and a tiny 14 m2 Dacron staysail for the breeze, and an asymmetrical spinnaker for downwind sailing. The necessities for effective, pleasant, and safe navigation.

When anchoring at anchor or on buoys, a motorized dinghy allows you to make contacts on shore.

The yacht is equipped with electronic aids, and all the navigation and safety equipment necessary and mandatory for a boat flying the professional commercial flag, among others: Pilot charts, Cartography, Guides and navigation books, Compass, Binoculars, Barometer, GPS , Log, depth sounder, wind vane anemometer, electric pilot, fixed VHF, portable VHF, AIS transceiver, radar reflector, 8-seater offshore liferaft, Grab bag, distress lights, Silzig buoy, Dan buoy (IOR pole), vests rescue inflatables, fire extinguishers, gas detector, shears, pharmacy.
