Bostik, the first unit of the Veolia Oceans one-design series of the SolOceans came back to her Maintenance Base in Caen (France) last Friday evening, from Antwerp (Belgium) where the cargo ship unloaded her on her return from New Zealand. During the next couple of weeks, SailingOne’s team will proceed to the usual check up of the boat plus they will install a fix boom. Then, from 17 June, Charles Caudrelier at the helm of Bostik will set sail for a major Promotional Campaign of the SolOceans in Northern Europe and in the United States.
