Scandalised sail on a blustery morning	Breton Characters	The tuna fishing ketch "Nebuleuse" takes the ground on a misty morning.	Appuskidu waits beyond the trees	Breton pipers	Big brave flags for a small boat
A deflated polliceman is supported by two colleagues	Reefed down and tacking out to sea	Recouvrance shows her pace	Claud Tredaniel enjoys life in his olonois "Grande 'Meme" with its bright red mainsail	Some people love to live at crazy angles	One of a group of Lateen rigged mediteranean fishing boats uses sweeps to help in short tacking
Classic	A peaceful end to the day - before the band starts up.	Steep raked bow and stern. Lug rigged schooner with no staysail - it must be a "Sinegot".	Free oysters lined up for the crews	Ancient and modern	Breton dancing
Steam gets a look in too and that is the proper size for a flag	The schooner 'Recouvrance' from Brest parades out of the entrance	The cotre aurique "Kurun" with sweeps and anchor ready in crowded waters	The rare sight of a classic yacht in her original gaff topsail rig. With her massive jackyard main topsail and her fore triangle topped off by a jib topsail, she is seeing off the modern yacht behind	Sinagots and Forbans for the children	Flotilla 2 "Sail and Oar" coming into Port Navalo to join flotilla 3 "Small traditional yachts" and flotiila 7 "Classic yachts under 8m" before the parade
