Garcia 45, a yacht that was designed by Jimmy Cornell. A yacht that turned out to be so successful that it was put into production. To which there is still a queue of customers. On which he made the transition from France to Alaska, through Greenland.

And now the great yachtsman says goodbye to her. According to him, this is the last yacht in his life. There are no more plans, age does not allow. But let's see whether to sit on dry land, the founder Worldcruising Club, ARC and noonsite.

“After spending most of the winter on a small dock near Bergen on the west coast of Norway, Aventura is currently moving towards the Arctic.

Her sale was completed last week and the new owner, Oystein storslett, and his team take it to their base in Tromsø in northern Norway.

Company Arctic explorersowned by Oystein storslett, has shown real success in action in recent years, and the purchase Aventura will allow them to expand their yacht range by offering charter flights to Svalbard (Svalbard) starting at the end of June.

The actual yacht handover took place in January and we had to use a hairdryer to defrost the various lines. Selling each of my previous boats was a painful experience, but none was as painful as selling Aventura iv... In the absence of any plans for longer voyages, it was a logical decision, and I am glad that she will continue to do what she was created for. "
