Return to Papeete.


Following Moorea, Bora Bora and Tetiaroa, the long, looped circuit of the French Polynesia stopover is complete and the crew is back in the port where it all began, Papeete, where Race for Water will remain moored for a few days before setting a course for the SAMOA islands.

On the programme, a jobs list of upkeep and maintenance of the hydrogen system, which is an annual event.

“Together with the teams associated with our partner @PlasticOmnium, who have just arrived on site, we opened the chambers enclosing the hydrogen system in order to check how the system is aging. This maintenance is fairly classic for us as it’s something we need to do. The initial feedback is good as the whole system is intact and in good condition, despite the environment our boat has to make headway in,” explains Basile Prime, one of the onboard engineers.
