Launch of the winter refit for FOREL

Starting on January 15, the FOREL sailing vessel will leave the dock at the Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly and be placed on the slipway at Keroman in Lorient, where its winter refit will begin, in collaboration with the AML workshops and our partners.


This refit is a crucial step in preparing FOREL for its 2025 scientific expedition, which will once again take the vessel to explore the icy waters of the polar regions.

On the agenda: reinforcement and continuous improvement of the vessel to ensure it is fully equipped to conduct international research programs for several months in Canada and along the coasts of Greenland.
