Travelogue
The building
Our 72-feet long schooner was built in compliance with the highest professional standards by Grand Large Yachting & Alumarine shipyard near Nantes, France. With 35 metric tons of loading capacity, our floating cellar will be able to bring to NYC around 15 000 bottles of the best organic, biodynamic and natural French wines!
Step 1
The Loading of the Hull
On the 6th of November 2020, we loaded 22 pallets of organic, biodynamic and natural French Wines in the beautiful port of Saint Malo France.
A first experience for both dockers and sailors on a Cargo Sailboat and an amazing moment for all the GDS Crew!
The Great Departure
Its time! On the 18th of November 2020, our 4 brave sailors and our proud Cargo Sailboat left their home port of Saint Malo full of 15,000 bottles.
They will cross the Atlantic only thanks to the power of the wind and will be in NYC in around 1 month.
Be ready the Big Apple!
