LA ROCHE BLEUE…
The story of a trawler boat from St.Vaast La Hougue
which looks
Like
a Bautier from Barfleur in the 1934’s.
Together
with a friendship and passion story...
In
1990, three pals bought the boat and convert it into an old and wonderful
Greement,
With
the shipyards’ workers’ help after 800 hours of labour and patience.
Gérard
HUE will handle the overhaul of the engineering and mechanical part.
Yves
CAPARD, the seaman of the trio will undertake the restoration of the
ship, the
Construction
of the greement and the manufacture of the sails, with will, discretion
and modesty.
LA
ROCHE BLEUE takes part in Brest 96 and her crew receive in 95 “La Pomme
d’Or” from the Association “Pays d’Auge Environnement”, symbol which
is offered to anyone
Who
carries on the keeping of traditions and patrimony at the expense of
their sincere
Efforts
and work.
Today
LA ROCHE BLEUE has been sold.... New hands but same heart...
It
is still a love and friendship story...
Love
at first sight with the Old Greement, just simply because she is beautiful,
because
She
must remain in the Basin in HONFLEUR where she is suited so well to
the light
From
the Estuary, and also because Yves CAPARD is a real seaman and he will
remain
As
long as he wants the skipper of this boat which is a part of his life.
