After fueling in La Rochelle, we're setting off on the first leg of her journey to Cannes.
As the very first hull, this passage is about more than simply reaching the destination. It's an opportunity to experience the 70S in real conditions, learn how she performs at sea and identify any refinements that could benefit future hulls.
Be sure to follow along over the coming days for a firsthand look at life aboard FPY 70S hull #1.
And if you want a closer look at the FPY 70S, my First Impressions video is now live here on my channel.

A delayed check-in from day two aboard hull #1 of the new FPY 70S!
When I filmed this the other day, we had motor-sailed through the night with the wind behind us and were preparing for 25–30 knots later that evening. We’ve since made it through that weather, but here’s a look at where we were at that point in the journey.
We were also lucky enough to spot a few whales along the way. You can just see one of them spouting in the distance in the video 🐳
I’ve also been enjoying some time in the galley, cooking a chicken curry and a few other meals for the crew.
It’s been a great trip so far, but the real highlight has been having the opportunity to experience this boat properly at sea and see how she performs over longer distances. The more time I spend aboard, the more impressed I am.
Follow along for more from my time on board!
