The mistral took a break this weekend and had already begun to blow again on Sunday afternoon. This brief lull obliged the "Technical dream team" (about fifteen people) to work twice as hard to enable the planned launch. Everyone managed to get their priorities right and we were able to get the yacht out of the yard on Friday. The keel was put back again on Saturday and she was launched and masted on Sunday.
There is still lots to do before she leaves Port Camargue for Barcelona in a few days, but the toughest bit is behind us and the mistral wind can now howl to its heart's content.
