The unavoidable maritime heritage
As we all know, boating is probably the last form of navigation to appear on our coasts. Before us boaters, the sea was a place of work and exploration. It was the discoverers, merchant sailors and fishermen who brought shipbuilding and the art of sailing to where it is today. It is therefore natural not to forget the memory.
So many reasons to celebrate the reconstruction project of the Boussole of the explorer Lapérouse or to dive back into the history of the Mariners' Shelter a haven of rest for fishermen at the beginning of the 20th century, buildings that many boaters have seen during their cruises around Brittany. While the One Ocean Summit is working on the preservation of the marine environment, we can dive back into the history of Captain Cousteau's Calypso .
A yachting force of innovation
But boating is not static. If it sometimes thinks it is reinventing technologies that were pioneered decades ago, or even longer, it does not fail to evolve.
We can dive back into the inventions of the famous Nathanael Herreshoff who explored multihulls long before their recent fashions or discover the origins of wingfoil well before the year 2000. Current events also remind us of the progress of materials in sails but also electronic equipment .
