My name is Ludovic and I have been single-handed sailing SCOLA for 5 years. Living aboard typically from November to May each year, cruising the Bahamas and the Caribbean from Dominican Republic to the Grenadines.
During the summer SCOLA is tied down in dry storage at the Puerto del Rey Marina. It is here that you can visit SCOLA.

"We love our Manta because it is so safe, so easy, so comfortable, and so company friendly."
Manta 40 #31 "BobCat" Owners: Bob & Midge Gray Cruising destinations: Bahamas and East Coast US 
"The Manta's solid construction and rig proved itself to us when we were caught of Cape Hatteras in 42-knot winds and 18-ft. confused seas. It's perfect for a cruising couple, plenty big enough even with company aboard, yet easily docked at most marinas."

"We bought the Manta because it offered everything we need as a cruising couple and more."
