<u><strong>An Outrigger Canoe 7metres long</strong></u></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Inspired from the Polynesian pirogues and designed in collaboration with the architects from the French boat yard Structures, the prototype measures seven meters long built by Liz and Sebastian Dechaume. Built from carbon fiber, it’s light, rigid and strong. Designed in tight collaboration with Liz and Sebastian, to be completely adapted to her specific needs, this canoe is innovative and multifunction. As indeed, Liz will never leave her canoe during the crossing. She, therefore, needs to be able to sit and stand up to paddle, and lie down to sleep.</p>

The funds collected will be used to r<strong>ent the escort boat and pay the skipper</strong>, which is a <strong>key element</strong> to the <strong>succes</strong> of this project. Aswell as <strong>communication costs</strong> so that you can <strong>share my adventure with me live</strong>!</p>
<p>
If we are able to collect more than 7000 euros, the remaining funds will be used to buy custom made waterproof covers in order for me to be more confortable and to avoid skin irritations.</p>
<p>
And of course to buy the food appropriate to give me enough energy!</p>
