What type of yacht is it?

[craigbalsillie]

In the September Issue if Yachting Monthly , on Page 63, The main picture of the feature on St Vallery-En-Caux.

There is a small white yacht with light blue flashings..
It's moored next to a yacht called "Le Jean Delbard"..

Does anyone know what type of yacht it is?


I hope to be buying my first yacht next year and this looks exactly like the type of thing I'm after..

Hope someone can help..

The only one I can see with light blue contrast is in the foreground, with an outboard hanging over the back, but it's not parked nex to Jean Dalbord. Which one exactly do you mean?

He means the one parked next to Jean Dalbord, not the ice cream parlour in the foreground. Try to keep up Ken!

Well that's called Sail and Pepper, and is some ghastly sort of French 42 footer with a wrap around perspex windshield and dark blue cove line, so it doesn't quite fit the description of the suspect.

if you put your finger on the base of the mast of Sail and Pepper and go down about an inch and a half your finger will be right on the bow of the one I mean..


It's the little wooden effort with , what looks like a yamaha outboard hanging off the back, and it is definitely parked next to "Le Jean Delbard"..

No more takers on this, so here goes.

It's not next to Le Jean Dalbord, the named dodgers you're seeing are on a boat on the other side of the walkway, not on the foredeck of the boat next to your chosen bride.


FWIW I reckon your boat is an older (50s?) model about 20 feet, of a type sometimes called an estuary cruiser. Looks very like it's from an East Coast UK designer, maybe Maurice Griffiths?

Not the sort of boat you'll find on the books of the big yotbrokers, but with smaller specialists - try looking in the back of Classic Boat magazine at the brokers and small ads.
