The application for the residencies in August 2025 is extended until all spots onboard are given. Only a few left!
The Sailboat
Light Observatory #7 is a Beneteau Oceanis 321 sailing yacht, built in 1996. This well-balanced cruiser is known for its smooth handling, solid sailing performance, and onboard comfort. It features three double berths (bedrooms) and two saloon sofas that can also serve as beds. The yacht is equipped with a galley (kitchen) and a head (bathroom). While the sitting areas are spacious, navigating the narrow corridors requires a bit of a ‘boat dance.’



Participants should bring their own sleeping bags and be open to sharing a berth if needed. Life aboard is a communal experience, with everyone collaborating on daily tasks such as sailing and cooking. Fresh water and electricity are limited, so mindful usage is essential. The water tank will be refilled whenever we dock at a marina—an opportunity for a proper shower. On other days, participants can embrace the adventure of a “wild” open-air shower at the back of the boat, using the surrounding sea.
