[Wansworth]

MUSCADET - sailboatdata……anybody recall the Muscadet and the massive crews of mad young French people cruising about whilst the Brit’s sedatlycruised in their Macwesters.These days starting boat has to have a shower and standing headroom…..like any things we got. Sold the idea that bigger was better

I remember one being on a pontoon opposite one which disgorged a crew of at least 8 including a dog almost the size of a St Bernard. They cooked on the pontoon and washed up on the pontoon. She was certainly down on her marks. My wife says the family had one when they were young.

The Class is very active, last National Championship had 70 boats, one with fancier colours than the other

Sometimes one crosses also rallies with tens of boats sailing all together (and filling any marina they stop at

I don’t remember the Muscadet class but back in the ‘70s there was a large Bowman yawl called Muscadet of Harty. We came across her once on the Ore and met the owner ashore. He complimented us on our anchoring, which had not been very challenging in our 22’ Cirrus. On another occasion a friend and I had a lot of Muscadet for lunch in Fecamp and then fished erratically for mackerel from an Avon. In the end the mackerel, which had been put in a bucket, were almost uncookable because they had died banana-shaped.
