Anao
Found in Cap d’Adge (south of France), Anao is a 40-foot round bilge sailboat made out of aluminium with a lifting keel.
After a 6-yeat circumnavigation, it is with great emotion and excitement that her previous owners entrusted us with the keys.
Anoa is now docked in Angers, for a period of about 6 month in order to give us a chance to do all necessary repairs prior to our departure.
We kept her name, given to her by the first owner in 1980 because we feel it is easy to pronounce in all languages and by VHF (Alpha – November – Alpha – Oscar). By the way, we also discovered that Anao happens to be a bay in the Marquisa Islands (Pacific).
She is a robust, well-designed and well-prepared sailboat for blue water crusing. We are fully confident about her ability.
Despite all of this, a 5-months refit was necessary in Angers to adapt and equip her for polar latitudes.
