Vagabond is a yacht specifically designed to sail in icy waters.[1] In 2001, she was the first boat to go through the North-East passage without wintering.[2] In 2002, she came back to France via the North-west Passage, completing the first circumnavigation around the Arctic ocean.[2] Vagabond now serves as a logistic support for scientific expeditions in the Arctic.
