Launching 'Andouillette'

Jon Dykes


Launch day in Teignmouth. Beautiful day for our first sail after a splash of fine Breton cider to send her on her way.

Nice one Jon.
I'll update the table of Known UK Morbics.

Thanks! Really chuffed and looking forward to getting together. My son took the photos with a quality digital SLR and I had problems uploading due to the capacity. I have lots more photos and video if anyone is interested I can email them.😜

Lovely job, and the sails set perfectly. I bet you got some admiring glances.

Good name too - the real andouillette is a delicacy I've tried from Deux Sevres (tripe sausage), and its horrendous smell belies the taste once you get it into your mouth!

Beautiful (apart from what seems to be an awkward looking lump on the transom.  Is it a strimmer?  A coffee dispenser?)

Yeah I know! First time out with the tide and moored boats.


The name comes from a Breton delicacy which once tried is never forgotten!

Check andouillette on Wiki.
Hmm - This pesci/vegie will pass.  Les Francais will applaud.
