This is taking place after two weeks of work done at and with the help of V1D2 boatyard managed by Marc Lefevbre. "Bostik is now up to standard with the one-design series" explained Jean-Baptiste Daramy, "she has the definitive boom and the whole living area has been transformed. We have also proceeded to the improvements decided in collaboration with Charles Caudrelier after his arrival from the New York City - Cherbourg Transatlantic".
From now on, the Veolia Oceans® one-design Bostik will start his last promotion and test campaign. On Saturday morning, Yann Clavier will set sail towards La Trinité-sur-Mer (Brittany - France) where she will be presented for the first time to the French sailors. He will then be sailing for a week in the Bay of Quiberon, including a day with onboard Michel Desjoyeaux, the technical consultant of this oceanic one-design series.
Bostik will then sail towards La Rochelle to take part to the Grand Pavois. After that, Yann Clavier and Charles Caudrelier will join La Rochelle to Cannes, Saint-Raphaël, Saint-Tropez and Monaco. Then a delivery journey to the south will allow Bostik to take the start of the Rolex Middle Sea Race (Malta). It will be the first official confrontation of the Veolia Oceans® one-design with other racing yachts, in its own specially created one-design class.
To conclude this sailing campaign, Bostik will be delivered back to Normandy in October on time to be at the annual rendez-vous of The International Paris Boat Show.
