Everyone will know who's boat that is! Love it! I don't see any blood on it though. 8)

Congratulations. I know you must be very happy. You did an excellent job on a classic design, and the functionality is awesome.

Congratulations on building this beautiful boat. Unfortunately my French does not exist, so please explain what the name means, I definitely guess it has to do with fishing.
