The sailboat is made of steel, measures 15m and has 2 masts; it is a schooner. Its distinctive feature is its retractable keel, which allows it to be beached or to have a shallow draft.
The sailboat is self-sufficient in electricity, but its use may be restricted.

I 1000% recommend spending your holidays with ***. We had a fantastic week of sailing and climbing. Mathieu and Iris, the boat's captains, are lovely, very attentive, and great teachers, teaching us how to sail. They introduced us to the theory, explaining nautical charts, currents, wind, and more. Then we were able to put it into practice in the Iroise Sea and the Brest harbor. Julian, the climbing instructor, was amazing at finding spots suited to the weather conditions and our skill level. He met our expectations by teaching us multi-pitch climbing techniques. We also got to climb the mast *** and even do a short via ferrata. Life on board *** was great, with a wonderful atmosphere among the crew. We ate and slept well. In short, a wonderful holiday with wonderful people on a beautiful, historic boat ***!
