Slides from T3SAIL11 (Sardinia II)
In September 2011 T3SAIL11 took place. Port of shipping was Cannigione/Sardinia located directly at the La Maddalena Archipelago. We visited La Maddalena, Bonifacio (Corsica) and even Porto Vecchio (Corsica), conquered nearly all of the Maddalena and Lavezzi islands, found new bays we have not known yet, did not lose any of the crew members - and solved the SEND + MORE = MONEY puzzle.
Some statistical numbers:
- yacht: Beneteau 47.3 Cruiser
- wind: 1-6 beaufort
- bays visited: countless
- waves: not more than half a meter, plenty of sun and warm and cristal clear water!
