Late august, Nathalie Koscusko-Morizet, french ministry of ecology went in Port-en-Bessin for the prize that the harbor won.

Then she visited Patrick James yard in which a wooden fishing  trawler is built. She ended the day with a visit of the ship VAUBAN. As the skipper couldn't be there, we, with Eric Vingtrois (Digne & Françoise, naval mechanical company) explained her the details and benefits of this "sustainable refit".

Pictures of the new rudder plug for the Minibee-Z, carbon version of the Minibee, with a deep draft T shape keel.

Thanks a lot to Hui and Freddy from the master 2 of applied mathematics at Caen University and Benoit from French Naval MIlitary Academy for their serious work and theIr cool attitude.

Another video of the Minibee under spinnaker, and still under the great sun of the south of France.
