We couldn’t have picked a more miserable day to go out for our first sail on
Aventura Zero. As we left the marina, grey skies hung low over the bay of La Grande Motte and it felt more like being in the North West Passage than the south of France. But once the sails were up,
Aventura, a bespoke version of the Outremer 45, came alive and the magic took over.
As I took hold of the wheel, I felt a surge of mixed emotions: excitement, satisfaction, but above all a great relief that my complex and challenging project has become reality. I also felt 30 years younger.
