Monument to Xynthia

No, this is not a contemporary art installation but a sad reminder of what happened last week. We were test sailing not even 36 hours before on a Salina 48 catamaran in the notorious Bay of Biscayne, France when a violent depression battered the region of Charente Maritimes. Thousands of boats sustained damage and tragically 52 people got killed as miles of old seawalls collapsed in tidal surges. Fountaine Pajot's La Rochelle plant was temporarily flooded but could resume operation today. This event was overshadowed by the Chilean earthquake, the resulting Tsunami and massive snowfalls over the North Eastern US. Folks, it is time to realize that Mother Earth threw a series of tantrums - possibly in reaction to Global Warming.

Annapolis Boat Show

Its the time of year where one boat show follows the other, giving us no reprieve and eager buyers the coolest new cats to choose from... The Aeroyacht and Fountaine Pajot Teams are eagerly preparing for next week's Annapolis Boat Show (Oct 8-12) where the Mahe 36, the long anticipated Lipari 41, Orana 44 and Salina 48 catamarans will be shown. Its the largest gathering of multihulls anywhere in the world - don't miss it.

We are looking forward to your visit.
