🇫🇷 // Les différentes vies du bateau : Episode 1 avec Kito de Pavant 👇 « C’est encore un peu mon bateau » lance Kito avec émotion en arrivant dans le hangar où l’IMOCA MS Amlin termine son chantier d’hiver. Et de l’émotion, il y en a chez l’Occitan quand il parle de la conception en 2006 et de ses navigations avec ce bateau léger et taillé pour la course à bord duquel il a couru jusqu’en 2014. Il y en a aussi chez le Néo-zélandais qui se remémore à quel point Kito l’a inspiré dans ses plus jeunes années. Instants souvenirs, souvenirs… 🇳🇿🇺🇸 // The different lives of the boat: Episode 1 with Kito de Pavant ⚓️ "It's still a bit my boat," says Kito with emotion as he arrives in the shed where the IMOCA MS Amlin is finishing her winter refit. Plenty of emotion in the Occitan indeed when he talks about the design in 2006 and his sailing with this light boat built for racing, aboard which he raced until 2014. The New Zealander also recalls how Kito inspired him when he was younger. Memories, memories... 🎥 Adrien François Social medias : Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/conradcolmanoceanracing Instagram : https://instagram.com/conradcolman #shorts #vendeeglobe #imoca

Ahhhh . not only good to be back in the water, but also to continue with boat projects shirtless and barefoot! I`m Prepping for the ultimate 2025 challenge! 🚤🌸 After 5 incredible years cruising Japan on my Gibsea 402, I’m gearing up for Chasing the Cherry Blossom 2, a journey to sail the length of Japan during Sakura Season—25 years after doing it by bicycle. 🗾 This haulout in Okinawa is to ready my boat (and myself) for the adventure of a lifetime as I celebrate turning 70! 💪⛵ Follow along for every step of this epic odyssey! 🌊 This is day 14 ( i skipped day 13 as I was on land taking care of some personal matters) of the haul out. I actually splashed on day 8, but on the next day, I discovered a problem, and so tomorrow I have to haul out again. Are you a `never-too-later` like me?
