Lives with a long wake
Buying a new boat is not for everyone. So it's often with a second-hand boat that the "boater-owner" adventure begins. From owner to owner, each boat follows in its wake, each time leading a new life, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, from fishing trips to beach outings, from offshore racing to comfortable cruising. These many lives, and the milestones that mark them, are the subject of the stories of refit and restoration that we take pleasure in telling you. From duracell project à that of a modest Seafoam they're in the news again this week. Michel's inspiring tale of Leader in our Mon Bateau d'Occase series is sure to inspire others. Calling all testimonials!
End of life for better rebirth?
When it's time to say goodbye to your boat, its hull is tired and its equipment is rinsed, but it's not done creating new lives for itself. Its deck fittings may find a new home, while out-of-use materials find a new one after recycling and reclamation. This is what we discover through administrative procedures for yachtsmen and the pictorial follow-up to the end of life of an Esteou 630 .
No doubt about it, boats probably have more than 7 lives. Cats beware!
