History of the schooner

The schooner L'ÉTOILE and her sister ship Belle Poule were built in the shipyard of Fécamp, France in 1932. They served as cod fishing vessels off the coast of Iceland until 1938. The season was approximately seven months. During this time the ships mostly operated in depression area with heavy weather. They were built accordingly, stout and sturdy, and for that reason were selected later on as navy training ships. Today French navy officers get their education on them.
The ships have an auxiliary engine of 125 HP, allowing to operate at any weather and tide. The L'ÉTOILE and Belle Poule are always welcomed with national and international boat races and are frequently photographed there.
Technical data: overall length 38 m, width 7.10 m, displacement 214 tons, draught 2.10 m, speed 6 knots, total sail area 425 m².
