Grayhound: the revival of trading under sail

TRADING UNDER SAIL
Douarnenez is one of the centres of the current revival of trading under sail. This video discusses the revival and describes a voyage aboard Grayhound, one of the vessels that has been involved in this activity.

GRAYHOUND
If you want to sail aboard this magnificent vessel, the lugger will be offering cruises again from 2021, in the North Atlantic and Scandinavia.

MY BOAT
Do you want a boat like mine?
She is an adapted Ilur designed by François Vivier, and built of clinker plywood by les Charpentiers Reunis of Cancale in 1994. The design is based closely on the traditional inshore fishing boats of Brittany, including her single boom-less lugsail rig and lack of a mainsheet horse, (controversial among my viewers). Although rare in Britain, Ilurs are quite common in France.

Similar dinghies can often be found for sale in the French magazine le Chasse-Marée
