French adventurer sets out for Tahiti from Peru on board kite boat.

French national Anne Quemere set sail for Tahiti from Peru after having to abandon her first attempt a day earlier due to poor wind conditions.


Quemere is hoping to traverse more than 7,000 kilometres aboard her kite boat. The kite boat is six metres long and two metres wide and will be pulled by a giant kite.

The vessel was designed specifically for Quemere to sail the 7,500 kilometres from the Callao port in Lima.

Quemere will be able to sleep in one compartment on the vessel, which also includes a storage compartment for additional kites of various sizes.
