Pen Duick

Beautiful regatta cutter dating from 1898, which the prestigious sailor Éric Tabarly saved from a miserable fate, rescuing it from the muddy Loire corner where it was run aground. When he was just seven years old, Éric Tabarly was out walking with his father Guy Tabarly, when suddenly the beautiful hull appeared jutting out from the rushes, and with his childs logic, he said to himself: "That's not the place for a boat to be!" From that very moment a love was born, the first love of a man who gave everything for the sea carried away, as the two sailed together the waters of Southeast Wales on the night of 14 June 1998: the same year that PEN DUICK reached its hundredth birthday.Éric Tabarly said: "Without me it would have been just a ruin. Without it, my life, without a doubt, would have been very different." Artesania Latina with this faithful scaled reproduction of one of the most beautiful sailing boats that have ever existed, whishes to pay tribute to a man who did so much for sailing and who is already a legend for all lovers of the sea.Set of pre-sewn sails included.Length: 543 mmHeight: 726 mmBeam: 93 mmScale: 1:28
