Enola’s Refit Update: Exciting Progress! 

We’re delighted to announce some major updates on Enola’s current refit in Barth, Germany. We have successfully removed the mast, paving the way for a brand new standing rigging that will improve performance and safety. We're also adding some new equipment to it, and painting the tip in bright orange.

For a closer look at the progress and behind-the-scenes insights, check out our social media updates. Your support and enthusiasm drive us to continually push forward!

Where's Our Crew? 

Our dedicated crew is scattered across the globe, each one contributing with their unique qualities.

• Gregory has just safely delivered a yacht crossing the Atlantic from Saint Marteen to Horta in the Azores before heading next week to Lagos in Portugal, her final destination. He's currently in Barth, Germany, working on Enola's ongoing refit.
• Becca and Morgan continue to navigate the vast ocean, gathering unforgettable experiences along the way.
• Steffen is busy managing contacts for the refit and coordinating future projects in Barth.
• Dimitri is devoted to designing and developing our website, and is preparing to increase our social media presence. He’ll be on board next week with Gregory sailing to Lagos and training his photos and films shooting skills meanwhile.

Enola Needs Two New Sails – Let's Make It Happen! 

We are launching an exciting fundraising campaign to equip Enola with two new sails. This venture is not just about upgrading our vessel — it's a unique opportunity for you to leave your mark on our journey. We are looking for patrons and sponsors who share our passion for the sea. Would you like to see your name or logo displayed proudly on our sails or mast as we travel the oceans? Find out more about our sponsorship program, contact us, and check out the Patrons' Membership tiers. Your commitment could help propel Enola towards new horizons, fostering a partnership built on adventure and innovation.
