...because you need to feel, the wind and the sea to understand what is going on.

"For a long time I had been looking for a boat that would enable a large number of people to discover the thrill of speed under sail. Beach catamarans are a possibility but a certain skill is necessary and they do not offer to a group of friends or a family the pleasure of sharing the experience. The big racing or charter catamarans give a good taste of speed on the water in a convivial atmosphere but do not give beginners a chance to operate these very powerful or very temperamental machines. Then I came across AaKa, a Formula 40 catamaran, of manageable size, rigged like a beach catamaran (everything just a little bigger), with sails of a reasonable surface area. The appeal was obvious immediately and the choice was made"

"A little work has to be done to restore her sheen and adapt her to a less technically-minded public.The hull was renewed with the help of the technicians of HTR 06 who were able to restore its original capacity to glide. The rigging was reexamined and simplified to make the boat easier to manoeuvre". And I do not regret it, for the boat is really lively and anybody can steer her. I can now offer even beginners the unbelievable thrill of steering a racing boat at over 20 knots, even flying one hull, and having the feeling that you belong to a professionnal team on an ocean-going multihull . You could be one of the Peyron brothers, Lionel Lemonchois or Helen Mac Arthur."

The next plan is to find a local sponsor, in order to acquire a large Gennaker. It would provide an excellent surface for advertising along the crowded beaches of the region , on a boat that is often at sea and catches the eye. This is affordable and could interest even a small firm .

Far from the huge cost of advertising in cycling or football AaKa brings you a unique opportunity:

• of bringing up the name of your company
• associate your company with a clean and green activity
• do a very good team-building

AaKa then becomes your totem, hoisting up your colours and giving your company an image of modernism, green technology and performance.

AaKa is based in Cannes and she can sail from Saint Tropez to Monaco. This place is perfect for AaKa not only for the surrounding but also for the number of tourist coming here each year. ) Pictures of Aaka will be on other support (Weblogs, websites, internal communication ...), people would see your adverts from the beachs, from the harbours, from the others yachts, or during the Major Events in Cannes; i.e: Royal Regattas, Film Festival , Mipcom, MipTV...). She is sailing more than 120 days a year, right in front of la Croisette, at the foot of the Palais des Festival and in front of the palace's windows (Carlton, Majestic, Martinez) . The rest of the time, she is laying at the anchorage keeping the sails up or wearing flags with your logos and colours.
