Bostik Sails 1,700 Nautical Miles in Northern Europe

Bostik Left on the 18th June and has Sailed 1,700 Nautical Miles to the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Denmark

Jul. 3, 2008 08:00 AM

While the first Veolia Oceans one-design has still not been presented to the French sailors what will be done at the end of August, Charles Caudrelier has just completed in the middle of the night between the 1st and the 2nd of July a promotional sailing tour of the SolOceans in Northern Europe. Bostik left on the 18th June and has sailed 1,700 nautical miles in very different sailing conditions, with stopovers in the Netherlands, in Germany during the renowned Kiel Week and in Sweden, with a return rounding Denmark. This navigation enabled them to complete the technical tests on the Veolia Oceans one-design and to welcome a great number of journalists in the countries visited. It was also the occasion for the famous German solo-sailor Boris Herrmann to discover the Veolia Oceans one-design and for Alexia Barrier the Mediterranean solo-sailor, to do the delivery from Sweden back to Normandy (France) double-handed with Charles Caudrelier.
