A dream trip of “sun, sailing downwind, surf, gliding, speed, good food”…They sailed 1200 nautical miles, also double-handed, without a drop of fuel!

On Gunboat 60 MOONWAVE, Sébastien and Sophie have been running this configuration of the Torqeedo Deep Blue Hybrid system, solar and hydro for nearly 2 years / 21,000 miles. With this year's sailing plans to cruise from the Caribbean throughout the South Pacific come more opportunities to make the dream of fuel-free cruising a reality. Their dedication and success paves the way for all of us!
