COTRE DE CARANTEC

XBOAT ref :5963.
Magnificent little Carantec cutter classified M.H in 2019 and built in 1937 for a merchant navy commander at the Eugène Moguerou shipyard where Alain Jezequel and his son Georges worked as foreman and apprentice. Its construction is of classic wood type, bright works edged and riveted on bent acacia frames. This site is better known today as the Jezequel site where four generations of builders have succeeded one another. In the 1920s, a certain Mr. Mafart ordered eight sailboats from the shipyard, all named Gui, from Gui I to Gui VIII. This monotype from Finistère, a plan by Victor Brix from 1926, could be one of them. Indeed, very few archives of the architect have been preserved. He would have drawn more than 1000 plans mainly for pleasure boating which unfortunately disappeared in a fire. During the Second World War, this small cutter would have been used to bring some resistance fighters to the English coast. A first phase of restoration took place in 2007 and 2008 in the Despierres shipyards in La Rochelle. A second phase of work will be completed in 2013 in a company specializing in services to owners of classic sailboats. For the 2014 Plymouth-La Rochelle, the owner is participating as a Kraken II crew member. The same year this little cutter won the Heritage Cup. In 2015, he changed his mast and boom. In 2021 he won the Atlantic Channel Classic Challenge for small ratings. More details, invoices and 2024 expertise on request. Visit at your convenience. More details and pictures on ***
