La Réunion a eu le plaisir (et nous avec !) d’accueillir en escale au port de la Pointe des Galets, ce week-end (du 8 au 10 juin 2013), les 2 magnifiques voiliers « Oosterschelde » (trois-mâts goëlette) et « Europa » (trois-mâts barque). Comme cette petit vidéo le montre, nous avons suivi leur sillage tout au long des 40 km qui séparent Saint Leu du Port, avant de monter à leurs bords !
The beautiful island of Réunion will be visited twice by Dutch Tall Ships ‘Oosterschelde’ and ‘Europa’. First arrival of the ships was on June 8th.We are now sailing to Mauritius and after visiting Mauritius for a week, we set sail back to Réunion. Take this opportunity to sail with us from Mauritius to Réunion!

-The three-masted topsail schooner ‘Oosterschelde’ is the last remaining representative of the large fleet of schooners that sailed under the Dutch flag at the beginning of the 20th century. As the largest restored Dutch sailing ship the ‘Oosterschelde’ is a monument for Dutch shipbuilding and maritime navigation under sail.
- The bark EUROPA is sailing a worldwide program and is visiting the Antarctic Peninsula every year. In 2013 we will sail around the world, sailing the southern seas! From Antarctica via South Africa and Australia back to Antarctica again
