The Odyssey of Makoko: Lanzarote to tenerife

MAKOKO is a French Amel Super Mamaru built in 1996. She is a 16 metre ketch built for short handed sailing, cruising comfort and speed off wind. She had one owner since new; Jean-Claude and his wife Claudie cruised her around the world for 12 years. The origin of the name Makoko is interesting.Jean-Claude and Claudie lived in Nigeria for many years and Koko is the Nigerian word for grandmother and ma in French is my; we love the name and during our ownnership have become grandparents too!
