Custom Vaton 44

Built in 1992 based on Gilles Vaton's "Javelot" design, it has primarily sailed in the Mediterranean. Under the names "Bella Dona," then "Vodoo," and now "Javelot," this vessel has faced calm waters and storms without ever weakening. The aluminum structure, expertly crafted by Malt International Yard, has remained unchanged. In 2018, "Javelot" underwent a comprehensive refit necessary for offshore solo sailing. This included a new keel designed by Derivoire Ingenierie and built by Navilest, a fully checked rigging and a sail plan adapted for solo sailor, a new rudder ensuring greater stability under pilot, a new Volvo DI30 engine, a new NKE electronic control system, and new ONESAIL sails. The boat, quite IRC-typed, finished 8th in the 2018 Route du Rhum in the Monohull Class, without incident. Returning in double-handed configuration was straightforward. Today, the boat, perfectly equipped and optimized, can set sail again and register for a new Route du Rhum or another adventure.
