First sea trials of the Isméria 45: a highlight for the entire team Bord à Bord
There are moments that mark an important stage in the life of a sailboat. For theIsmeria 45, It was a few days ago: his first sea trialsA strong moment, both technical and emotional, for all the teams Bord à Bord who worked for months to make this aluminum sailboat a reality. A look back at this symbolic outing, the result of a real teamwork.
A long-distance cruising sailboat comes to life
It's not every day that a new model of aluminum sailboat goes to sea for the first time.
Even less so when it comes to a custom model, as'Ismeria 45, designed for long-distance cruising and autonomy.
These sea trials made it possible to validate the sailing performance , to test the maneuvers, the onboard systems, and finally to feel what this boat was truly capable of.
A collective project, from design to the open sea
This moment on the water is the culmination of months of shared work between the various stakeholders in the project:
-
Our Team Bord à Bord, mobilized like never before in our premises in Plestin Les Grèves
-
Teem Electronique , a trusted partner for marine electronics and electrical systems
-
Haka Voile , a sailmaking workshop located in Pordic, not far from us in Côtes d'Armor
-
Cédric Quelen of Toenautique , shipyard in Trébeurden
Stepping aboard for the first time, hoisting the sails and switching off the engine… It’s a moment we always experience with emotion. It’s when the boat truly becomes a companion on an adventure.
Very satisfactory tests for this first
The first trials of the Isméria 45 were carried out in winds exceeding 20 knots. The aluminum sailboat posted a respectable average upwind speed of over 7,5 knots.
Heading towards autonomy and freedom
With its generous interior space, enhanced range and exceptional robustness, the Isméria 45 is built for long journeys :
-
Safe offshore navigation , even with a small crew
-
Comfortable life on board , for long crossings as well as extended stopovers.
-
Access to remote areas , thanks to its saber keel and shallow draft
It is a sailboat that invites you to explore, slow down, and inhabit the ocean.
