Maloya is a sailboat Oceanis 411 (Bénéteau) 12.60 m long with a draught of 1.70 m. This is the boat chosen by Sarah Hébert and Aurélien le Métayer for their long-distance cruise with their little Nael, just 4 months old when they left in May 2017. A boat purchased three years earlier and on which the couple was already living before the birth of their child.
To feel at home, Sarah and Aurélien have therefore arranged it like a house, with an equipped kitchen, a lounge and its library, a parental "room" and a children's "room". But above all two large storage spaces - one of the two aft cabins and the bathroom in the forward cabin - to accommodate the many toys of these two passionate (and former champions) windsurfers.
Finally, apart from space, we find the same "rooms" as in a house. A term used by Sarah to describe the cockpit of her boat, the place where the crew of Poussé par le Vent spends most of their time. Because if the interior is important, life on a boat, it is especially outside that it takes place.
Then embark with Sarah on an outdoor and indoor tour of Maloya and discover how a long-distance cruising sailboat is designed.
