Web series / Heeling and towing for Blandine and Max


There are episodes that we would like not to see repeated too often. Blandine and Max's Dufour 4800 has just made contact with a rock in the south of Corsica. Towing required

Life on a cruise is not always a long quiet river. Blandine and Max have just had the painful experience. Remember, we let our young adventurous couple set sail on their Dufour 4800 after a long preparation. No more do-it-yourself, make way for the pleasures of cruising.

But just as the mainsail was being lowered in front of the Lavezzi Islands, a rock played with the keel. The heeling was violent and the reverser took advantage of this to damage itself. So we have to go back to Bonifacio, but how can we do it without a motor? The SNSM must be called in. The blow (and the cost!) is hard for our young couple who fortunately has more than one solution in his pocket.

By recovering parts on the old inverter changed before the start, they will be able to take to the sea and continue to make us live their adventures.
