This boat was handcrafted in Maison Triot’s Breton, France workshop using the same know-how, the same techniques, passed down from generation to generation since 1946. The N205 model – known as the Misainier – is a small 22cm boat. This boat is equipped with a standing lug sail made of cotton. The Breton Misainier was widely used in southern Brittany, France, mainly as a fishing boat. Its low hull sits close to the water and blends beautifully with the seascape, gently following the movement of the waves. This boat will delight young sailors and accompany them on their first maritime adventures, whether in the bath or in seaside pools. This boat will delight the little ones and accompany them on their first maritime adventures in the bath or in beach pools.
