The Victoria Shadow Association


 

Falkor

 

'Falkor' is a Victoria 34 that is owned by Dany Chapuis and moored at Le Croisic in Southern Brittany.

We first heard from Dany when he posted a message on our Open Forum back in February 2008 asking if any of our members could help him find a Victoria to buy. Leon Ferguson posted a reply to say there was a beautiful Victoria 34 For Sale in Holland and Dany said he was already in touch with the broker. Now, in July, Dany has sent the following e-mail:

"Mr Cosker  Bonjour

Falkor in Holland

 

At the time of writing, Dany Chapuis has not joined our Association but is clearly very proud of his new boat. Dany's English may not be perfect but it is probably a lot better than my French and I thank him for writing to us.

Le Croisic is on the South Brittany coast further east than the Villaine River and very close to the estuary of the Loire River. Although there are moorings in Le Poul, 'Falkor' may well be in the marina which dries to 2m and hence the reference to 'legs' and the need to land!

Please feel free to contact Dany and, indeed, arrange a visit if you are cruising that coastline.

 

Dany Chapuis may be contacted by e-mail at:

I will try to persuade him of the importance of joining our Association.
