The Boat
Baba 35 1980
She's not a child anymore, built in 1980 by the famous boat designer Robert Perry Classic design with a long, wooden keel and a rounded stern (double ender). The Exodus is a boat designed to sail far, cross oceans and meet any challenge the sea throws at it.
Why Exodus?
The word Exodus is mainly associated with the story Exodus from Egypt The journey in which our people embarked on an adventure into the unknown that lasted forty years, transforming them from a nation of slaves into a nation of free people.
Along the way, he crossed the Red Sea and endured many tests until he reached the Promised Land.
I feel that the race, by its very nature, is very reminiscent of the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The person who starts it and the person who finishes it will be two different people.
Knowing that the boat bears this name gives me strength and a sense of mission, as if the entire people of Israel are sending me a tailwind. 🇮🇱
