Raphaela Le Gouvello carries with her six special mono-film woven sails from Neil Pryde, in four sizes from 4.2 to 7.4 m2. She also carries four masts, all in carbon fibre, and three wishbones in aluminium to suit different wind conditions and as spares in case of broken equipment. During her expedition across the Atlantic Ocean in 2000 one mast broke due to rapid change in weather from calm sea to heavy storm. The interior of the board is divided into three watertight compartments with a tube for sleeping in the back third. The menu for the almost three month marathon voyage is based upon dehydrated freeze-drying food, dry fruits and energy bars. Drinking water is generated daily from seawater by a special desalination system power by the 12-volt batteries onboard, providing up to five litres per hour. In case of low or no power, the desalination system can be operated manually to guarantee drinking water.
