Sensation is a [[RM 1060 sailboat]], built by Fora Marine in 2013. I bought her in December 2024, after she returned from an Atlantic circuit with her previous owner. Her new home port is Dun Laoghaire (Dublin). She is named after the poem by Arthur Rimbaud. ![Sensation](https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_9c30d35f284f44b2bda08609e7c19f33/cyrille_public/20250419180412_Buv7aGkrkSW5eDHL5sMI9bDGzjg9M5CY8D7mfdpkkltbMSxFSTCDscGzQz1lpwyCIT5KkChG3JQ24yUs.png) ## Sensation > Par les soirs bleus d’été j’irai dans les sentiers, > Picoté par les blés, fouler l’herbe menue : > Rêveur, j’en sentirai la fraîcheur à mes pieds. > Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tête nue. > > Je ne parlerai pas ; je ne penserai rien. > Mais l’amour infini me montera dans l’âme ; > Et j’irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien, > Par la Nature,—heureux comme avec une femme. English translation : > On blue summer evenings, I shall go down the paths > Getting pricked by the corn, crushing the short grass: > In a dream, I shall feel its coolness on my feet. > I shall let the wind bathe my bare head. > > I shall not speak, I shall think about nothing : > But endless love will mount in my soul ; > And I shall travel far, very far, like a gypsy, > Through the countryside, - happy as if I were with a woman.
