Web series / Hugo tinkers with his Sea Foam in the Canaries


In preparation for his transatlantic race, Hugo continues to sail in the Canaries with his Sea Foam entirely renovated by himself. Sailing between the islands and discovering local life. An episode between the joy of discovery and work on the sailboat.

Hugo continues to explore the Canaries from top to bottom. This time it joins the island of La Palma, the most western of the archipelago. An episode with a lot of navigation that our navigator always does alone.

In the viewfinder, Hugo keeps the idea of making his transatlantic. So we have to prepare the boat. Despite a serious renovation that readers have been able to follow regularly on Bateaux.com, there are always points to improve or correct. This time it is the candlestick feet that are not strong enough and create water infiltrations in the boat. Hugo is thus obliged to dismantle everything and take out the resin to make clean bases again. A welded stainless steel part then takes over the load of the candlestick. A simple construction site, but which requires access everywhere inside the boat. Not always easy when you live on board and have all your gear with you
