Hello Admin / Matt:
Have you an overview which boats / skippers will come to Morbihan, and into what flotillas?
SR \\\'Craic\\\' will be in flot 2. We will arrive on Sunday, 13th., and will launch at either Port Blanc or Larmor Baden pier in the afternoon of the same day.
We have a full crew of four for all days, and will have five or six on the day of the Grand Parade, the more the merrier.

Hello Claus,
I will be going to Morbihan with one of the guys who works with us, Jeff. We\\\'ll be towing our BayRaider there and at the moment there is only us two on board. If you are carrying 4-6 people you might start getting concerned about us beating you?! Will you bring your big sails?
We are supposed to be sailing in Flotilla 3 but I have no real idea where we are going at the moment, so I am hoping to follow Tim.
He will be taking our Storm 17 down, we are all booked on the same ferry so we should find our way there ok. I think he is flotilla 3 too.
Lastly I think the owner of our Cardigan Bay Lugger will also be there, all the way from Nottingham.
If anyone is down there and wants a sail in any of our boats, come and find me on board our BayRaider. Alternatively, send me an email before the end of this week and I will let you know my mobile number.
Best wishes,
Matt

... Will you bring your big sails? ... Yep, sure will. BTW, if you have some spare time enroute, you may wish to pull in to Mt. St. Michel in Normandy, for some sightseeing and a picnic. It lies very close by the main road, and is a real treat to see. Safe journey, see you in France. C. |

Hi,
Just to confirm that the Cardigan Bay Lugger will be at Le Semaine du Golfe. We are signed up with Flotilla 3, camping at Village Vacances CCAS (Bois Bourgerel) along with Flotille 2 et 7, apparently. Being the only Swallowboat with a cabin I really should sleep on board in magnificent seclusion (preferably without my crew who have raucous tendencies) but it would seem that this could mean missin\\\' out on me breakfast!

There are some very nice photos of the participating Swallowboats in the photo gallery \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Semaine du Golfe 2007\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' on Kathy Mansfields public website www.kathymansfieldphotos.com . One of the photos shows the new BayRaider with a mighty black asymmetric spinnaker.
