Follow the odyssey of Escargot, its sea trials in early 2022, its travels and the technical reports of operations.
Discover the 2-year renovation of Escargot: the repair of the hulls, the plumbing on board, the electricity, the hydraulic steering system, the installation of the electric propulsion, the new structure and its 40 solar panels, the backup DC generator, and much more...
It took a long way to become the Escargot as we see it now: its construction at the Dean Catamarans shipyard in South Africa in 2005, its auction in 2014 by Spanish customs after its seizure for drug trafficking , its brief use as a charter in the Balearic Islands under the name Barlovento, its sinking in March 2017, its towing to Alicante, and finally our refit to become the Escargot.
