Ngoma is an amazing family boat that has provided us with wonderful adventures since we bought her in 1996. Ngoma has looked after us ever since we sailed her from her home in Keyhaven, around Finistère to her new home South of La Rochelle in the mouth of the Charante Estuary.
For the past 20 years Ngoma has been stored ashore in Charante Maritime, with light sailing four weeks per year around the beautiful Atlantic islands of West France. For the past four years we have not sailed her – she has been stored in dry dock.
It is with great sadness we have to say goodbye to Ngoma as we have re-located to the South of France where marina fees are prohibitive.
