Built in 1921, Florette is the last active, originally built brigantine in the Mediterranean and one of the last wooden windjammers that are still actively sailing. Join Florette for an Italian sailing holiday to explore the UNESCO heritage site of the Aeolian islands. From the active volcano of Stromboli to the typical Italian island of Lipari, experience the very best of this archipelago from the water. An unforgettable and versatile sailing holiday in Italy with daily trips ashore, offering a pleasant contrast to the social life on board. Experience the fiery Stromboli, the most active volcano in Europe on an adventurous night-time hike. Climb Vulcano slumbering in sulphur fumes and enjoy a healing bath in the sulphur mud afterwards before dipping into the bubbling sea. Or go hiking on the Salina island, known for its capers and sweet wine. Swim, snorkel and kayak in secluded bays with crystal-clear water and dark beaches made of fine, black lava sand. Florette and her crew always try to combine traditional classic sailing while immersing guests in the natural landscapes ashore; volcanoes, ancient culture and the specialities of the regional Italian cuisine. Whilst on board this historic brigantine guests can get involved with traditional sailing. With an original rig, it is certainly an all-hands on deck approach – which is surely part of the magic to this adventure sailing holiday! https://venturesailholidays.com/ship/florette/
#tbt to the dramatic start of The Ocean Race Europe 2025 in Kiel, Germany. Just minutes after the start, a collision between Team Allagrande MAPEI Racing and Team Holcim-PRB sent shockwaves through the fleet. While the damage forced both teams to retire from Leg 1, the story didn't end there. Following a monumental repair effort and a display of pure grit, both crews rejoined the race for Leg 2 in Portsmouth. Their resilience paid off in spectacular fashion - most notably for Team Holcim-PRB, who fought their way back to secure a 3rd place podium finish overall. It’s not about how you start; it’s about how you finish.
