Sabir

Sabir is a 45 ft Northwind Mistral Ketch buildt in 1983 in Barcelona. Ilja & Stefan sailed her in 2011 from Spain in the Med to the Canary Islands, in 2013/2014 Atlantic crossing and 2015 into the Pacific. This year we do our second round in the beautiful Southpacific after spending the last summer in NZ.
