Around 1980 the Architect Gilbert Caroff was commissioned in Paris to built a sailboat for the Artic Sea.

The hull of the Ile Disko, was made of 12.70 meters of steel with drop keel, strong enough to withstand the toughest sea conditions.

From then on about 200 more hulls were made using this durable method.

In 1992 the Rumbera was launched after two years of work in which the crew was present in order to choose the best equipment for a comfortable and safe journey.

For two years it was chartered in the Caribbean islands and along the Venezuelan coast, and in 1994 it arrived in Sardinia.
