On the 11thof June the crew of superyacht SLIPSTREAM were presented with the Yachts du Coeur trophy from the ECO-MER association for their outstanding assistance in organising and transporting aid to those affected by the 2017 hurricane season in the Caribbean.
Slipstream
In collaboration with ECO-MER and YachtAid Global, M/Y SLIPSTREAM collected donations from charitable events from Palma, Mallorca in the Balearic Islands all the way along the French Riviera to Antibes. Afterwards, the 60m/197ft superyacht then crossed the Atlantic to deliver 38²m of aid, which included carpentry tools and building materials, to the hurricane-hit Caribbean islands. Once in Dominica, YachtAid Global distributed the aid to those most in need before the crew headed to Sint Maarten to take part in rebuilding projects.

Artist Sylvie Wohlgemuth designed the trophy in the image of Ceres, goddess of nature and abundance, to emphasise attention to the natural environment.
