Apprentis Nomades needs help to edit the adventure movie of La Julianne in the Kerguelen Islands.
BECOME A SPONSOR OR RECEIVE THE APPRENTICES NOTEBOOK
Before we departed for this expedition to the Kerguelen Islands, we had the strong feeling that this adventure would go beyond our expectations. That's what happened! The 15 000 km we sailed between the roaring forties and the furious fifties were the most demanding and the most fascinating of our sailing trip around the world. Regarding the archipelago of Kerguelen, the largest and the hardest to access from the French sub Antarctic islands, revealed itself wild, mysterious and absolutely spectacular, exceeding our expectations. The support we brought to the scientific team at the TAAF natural reserve is one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives.
Just beginning sailing 3 years ago, we have invested all the energy we had to push our limits and reach this crazy dream. Today we proved one more time that any dream can be reached if you give yourself the means. This is the message we would like to share trough an adventure movie that would transport the audience in an extreme world where Mankind usually don't go. Since our departure from South Africa, we have filmed in high definition every single moment that made the core of this adventure.
Today we have all the rushes that we need but unfortunately we have lost part of our editing equipment with a storm that literally put our boat upside down. To edit the movie and finish this great initiative by applying to the adventure film festivals, we miss a bit of finance. Without this the expedition would remain unfinished.
We are now calling for your help. If you are or if you know patrons or companies that would be interested to help us achieve this bold dream and share an inspiring message trough Apprentis Nomades's adventure, then let us know!
You can also support us with a donation and receive the notebook from Apprentis Nomades, containing a short description of the project and 80 blank pages to write down your own stories and adventures!
Each notebook has a value of 15 euros. In exchange of a donation, you will receive the specified quantity directly at home. But if you want to pay new bolts to La Julianne or offer us sauce to go with the pastas, you can type in the amount you wish in the below text box.
Why is this notebook so pretty? It comes as the result of the beautiful encounter with Eugenie, sailor, artist and good friend that we have met on our path in Azores. She now prepares her own sailing adventure in Belgium. Go check her Facebook page!
Thank you very much!

Special thanks to Bas, the efficient man!
Maui Jim
Sailing the Furious Fifties, yes but with class! Maui Jim will handle our eyes protection with some really cool sunglasses.
There should be at least a tiny bit of sun in-between each low pressure, don't you think?
Aries Vane Gear
The world reference in wind vane is on-board La Julianne. It is a kind of auto pilot but only using the sheer force of the wind and the water to steer the boat. Not only relaxing for us and the boat it is mainly a huge security to have this backup with us.
Aries Vane Gear wanted to step on-board for our southern navigation and gave us a special price for the equipment!
Les Territoires Australes et Antarctiques Françaises
The Kerguelen archipelago is a subantarctic natural reserve belonging to the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. In Partnership with the reserve we organize scientific surveys of protected species of theses islands. Therefore, agents of the natural reserve will come on board La Julianne and sail with us around the archipelago.
La Julianne does look like a scientific ship now!
Biardo Survival Suit Bv
In Kerguelen islands, air temperatures can go below 0°C, and that's without the wind that blows continuously on theses islands. To fight against the cold during the navigation and the operations, Biardo sponsored us 3 great integral flottation suits.
In Kerguelen, better be seriously covered!
Plastimo
A good dinghy is mandatory to land, especially with strong weather. The good dinghys are unfortunately often too big to be stored somewhere else than on the deck.
Plastimo designed a foldable hard hull dinghy, more than convenient!
ATMB Marine
Sailing the Southern ocean you do it wet and cold. For the sailing comfort and to have dry equipment at the beginning of each shift, we have equipped La Julianne with a Wallas diesel heating system from ATMB Marine.
For the cold evenings, at the fireside...
