Malua hull lines

Malua

Exploring oceans, islands and coastlines — sharing our voyages, experiences and the places Malua has sailed.

The 2009 season moved Malua decisively westwards. Starting in the eastern Mediterranean, we travelled through Greece and the Corinth Canal to the Ionian, then north through Croatia to Venice. The return voyage took us south through Croatia and Montenegro and back into Greece, where Malua was hauled at Preveza for the winter.
