From France to Scotland by sea.

The Boat: Papou

I'm sailing on Papou, a Feeling 306 DI made by the French builder Kirié. It's 30 feet (9,30 meters), and has the particularity of having a centerboard. With the board down, it had about 1.5 meters of draft - but when lifted, it only needs a little more than 2.5 feet of water (0.70 meters), so I can go places most boats this size can only look at from afar.

She has two double berths, one up front, one port aft. One of these days, when I get to tidying a little, I'll update with a picture of the insides!

Here is a shot of her at anchor, in Studland bay.
