DESCRIPTION:

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

Member of the Classic Yacht Club, La GAILLARDE travels each year, covering about 3000 miles, from Portugal to Ireland and England. Its recent, rich sail plan (15 sails), inspected annually, allows it to sail in all weather conditions.

Constructed in solid teak without caulking, on bent oak frames, copper riveted, fully varnished and regularly checked (keel bolts replaced, rivets redone in 2016, deck and superstructure rebuilt in 2012). Masts and rigging inspected in 2019. All interior fittings and equipment (engine, electronics, comfort features, etc.) redone in 2016.
Heritage-listed BIP (Heritage Interest Boat – see site https://www.patrimoine-maritime-fluvial.org/navires-du-patrimoine/navires-bip-search/la-gaillarde/), she can be classified as a “Monument Historique” if the new owner wishes (this classification grants access to certain financial benefits - port spaces, maintenance work, access to privileged zones, etc.). She has a year-round space at the Maritime Museum port of La Rochelle under specific financial conditions.
