Soclaine 1/20 Sinagot 2-Masted 1943 Morbihan Oyster Fishing Boat Kit
The French name for this type of boat is sinagot, which literally means 'inhabitant of Sene', a small village on the Morbihan Gulf in southwest Brittany. Earlier this century, approximately 300 of these small family day boats fished for oysters in this inland sea, famous for its unique tidal regime, out into Quiberon Bay. Some remained in service up until the 1960s. On traditional holidays, the sinagots pitted themselves in hard-fought regattas.
