DESCRIPTION:

LA GAILLARDE: classic boat designed for fast, comfortable, and safe cruising, by ABEKING and RASMUSSEN in 1939. Perfectly maintained by its successive owners (6) through renowned shipyards (Campers & Nicholson, Fernand Hervé…), skilled in woodwork.
Operable with a crew of 2 people, LA GAILLARDE has 6 berths split into 2 double cabins + 2 additional berths in the saloon, with all the comforts of a modern boat.

A member of the Classic Yacht Club, La GAILLARDE sails every year, for about 3000 miles, in its sailing area from Portugal to Ireland and England. Its recent and rich sail inventory (15 sails), revised every year, allows it to sail in all weather.

Built from uncaulked solid teak, on bent oak frames, copper riveted, always fully varnished and regularly inspected (keel bolts changed, riveting redone (2016), deck and superstructure redone in 2012). Rigging and spars inspected in 2019. All interior fittings and equipment (engine, electronics, comfort elements, etc.) redone in 2016.
Classified BIP (Heritage Interest Vessel - see site https://www.patrimoine-maritime-fluvial.org/navires-du-patrimoine/navires-bip-search/la-gaillarde/), it is accessible for the "Historical Monument" classification if the new owner desires (this classification allows access to certain financial advantages - mooring spots, maintenance work, access to privileged areas, etc.). It has a year-round mooring at the Maritime Museum Port of La Rochelle under specific financial conditions.
