Terrifying images. That’s not how you want to see your yacht. Within a few hours, Julian Chavenon’s Jeanneau Mélody is destroyed by the rocks. How this could happen.

Chavenon has been sailing and living on his 10.50 meter Jeanneau “border line” for a year. He wants to organize climbing and canyoning courses from the boat and works as a teacher in this area. So the yacht should be his work tool as well as his home. Because the French lived on his ship.

But then the project ended abruptly. Chavenon left his ship at a buoy in the port of Berthom (Finistère) to work at a festival near Brest. Finally he gets a call from the rescue organization CROSS. He is told that his yacht is lying on the stones.

Nobody is on board. Luckily nobody gets hurt. But when the skipper arrives at the scene of the accident, his ship is as good as destroyed. In no time the waves themselves break the keel out of the boat.

Chavenon tries to understand what happened. A webcam from the town hall of the small town recorded how the accident happened.
