French sailor Capucine Trochet had just overcome a crippling ligament disease when she was given a 9-metre, modified S. Asian canoe, Tara Tari, built of jute and fibreglass by Corentin de Chatelperron (who'd sailed it from Bangladesh to France), and in 2012, sailed it across the Atlantic.

If you read French, her book, Tara Tari: Mes ailes, ma liberté was published three years ago by Editions Arthaud.

Seawater-soaked footage of Capucine alone at sea aboard Tara Tari, en route to the Canary Islands.

(Turn the sound down – the song's awful.)

I love that Tara Tari has always sailed under the flag of Bangladesh.
