Le Grand Bachi

In French maritime slang, the "bachi" is the cap worn by sailors and petty officers in the Navy. Made from blue wool cloth, it is topped with a red pompom in the French Navy.

Le modèle 201 – dit le Grand Bachi – est un bateau thonier de 21cm. Fabriqué en bois de hêtre, issu des forêts bretonnes ce bateau est équipé d’une voile en coton de type bermudéen.

This boat was handcrafted in our Breton workshop using the same expertise and the same time-honoured techniques, passed down from generation to generation since 1946.

Sturdy and built to last, it will be by your side for life — as long as you give it the little bit of care it deserves.

Wood is a living material that reacts to water. Despite all the care taken in crafting our boats, prolonged contact with water may cause some deterioration over time. It is important to let your boat dry in the shade, away from excessive heat, after each use.
Fair winds, sailor!

For birth gifts or any other special occasion, have the boat personalised with an engraved stainless steel plate, nailed to the back of the boat.
