Early July, annual hull maintenance of Libertaire at Billie Marine in Hennebont. (We thank them for their warm welcome and kindness.)
A bit of a scare going up the Blavet with the VHF antenna scraping the underside of the Locoyarn bridge, even though the clearance was given as 22m on the nautical charts! The tide was high, indeed, but with a coefficient of 72...
After a few unsuccessful attempts, the welding of the 18 new anodes is done as best as possible. It's a skilled job...
The shipyard also allows us to do a complete check-up of Libertaire's underside, including the keel well.
Libertaire looks proud in her new black coat, the fish will appreciate it...
