Bruno Vogin of France rowed with his pet monkey from Dakkar Senegal, West Africa to Cape Verde Islands in the Atlantic. Vogin rowed in a Yole Club fresh off the production line. He made no alterations to the boat, only a canopy for his pet monkey and an extra pair of oars.
Distance: 150 nautical miles which converts to 450 nautical miles rowed due to drift during resting hours.
Time on water: 11 days

The Yole is a great boat in open water. Very stable and self bailing.
