Joshua

Pascal sent an email recently saying he was returning to Europe in his Joshua class yacht named Primadonna, from the photographs he sent me it looks like he has been cruising the Caribbean and frankly what better yacht to do it in?

Joshua was the famous 39 foot steel ketch commissioned by Bernard Moitessier in the 1960's and in which he entered the Golden Globe Around the world yacht race.



According to accounts Moitessier was leading the race, but rather than sail homeward from Cape Horn he continued to sail on around the world again towards Tahiti. the video above was taken at the 2012 Vendee Globe in Le Sables d'Olonne, Joshua is something of a French Maritime treasure.

Pascal's boat is built to the same design, in steel.

  14. It may seem obvious but a good starting point for your Internet marketing plan is a website. Your website could contain just text, or maybe some audio files or video files as well. All of this should come together to clearly get your companies message across to the masses.

    There a big effort to fight it and we worried about the money that will be put toward that effort, California Right to Know campaign spokeswoman Stacy Malkan told Food Safety News.

    Bad Bible interpretation is never an excuse. I would say that we need a joint effort by men and women together to come to their churches leadership and make clear the need for more awareness and maybe even written church principles to guide future responses to incidents. This principles should be shorten before an incident becomes noticed (tags: Cheap Real Yeezys, Discount Jordan Shoes Wholesale, Cheap Yeezys).
