The boat is called Windjammer. The construction is being carried out by <a href=\"\/en\/charpentiers\/callistus-enoe\/\">Callistus Enoe, also known as &quot;Cal&quot;\u00ab<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cal is the son of the shipwright <a href=\"\/en\/charpentiers\/alwyn-enoe\/\">Alwyn Enoe<\/a>. In 2015, he had already built Free in St Barth, the first sloop of a new generation of shipwrights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Windjammer belongs to Piero Zipoli, who has financed and housed the project since its launch in 2024. The Ministry of Carriacou and Petite Martinique supports the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A training boat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Windjammer is not just a boat.
