The owner tells us:
Magnificent little cotre of Carantec classified M.H in 2019 and built in 1937 for a commander of the merchant navy at the Eugène Moguerou site where Alain Jezequel and his son Georges work as a foreman and apprentice.
Its construction is of the classic wood type, lively works bordered and riveted on bent acacia.
This project is better known today as the Jezequel project where four generations of manufacturers have succeeded. In the 1920s, a certain Monsieur Mafart commanded the site eight sailboats all baptized Gui, from Gui I to Gui VIII. This monotype of 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 which unfortunately disappeared in a fire.
During the Second World War, this little cotter would have been used to win the English coast to a few resistants.
A first phase of restoration took place in 2007 and 2008 in the Despierres construction sites in La Rochelle. A second phase of work will end in 2013 in a company specializing in services to owners of conventional sailboats.
For the Plymouth-La Rochelle 2014, the shipowner participates as a teammate of Kraken II.
The same year this little cotter was the winner of the Heritage Cup.
In 2015, he changed his mast and his boom.
In 2021 he won the classic Atlantic Challenge of Small Ratings.
