Iris Sailboat
(c) Blue Observer
Main activity
82-foot aluminium monohull equipped for oceanography (Atlantic, Mediterranean...). Oceanographic sailboat for ocean racing, specialised in the deployment and recovery of oceanographic instruments (weather buoys, beacons...) and in the collection of marine aerosols (sampling of micro-organisms). Scientific mediation.
