A beautifully made wooden toy boat, the perfect companion for bath time or to be admired on a shelf! Its shape is inspired by tuna boats, fishing boats of yesteryear with which our ancestors fished for… big fish!
This boat was handcrafted in Maison Triot’s Breton, France workshop using the same know-how, the same techniques, passed down from generation to generation since 1946. The N202 model – known as the Sloop – is a small 21cm sailing boat. This boat is equipped with a sloop rig and cotton sails. A Bermudan sailing boat (with a triangular mainsail attached to the top of the mast) is called a sloop when it carries a single headsail. Historically, sloops were fast and highly maneuverable fishing vessels. This boat will delight young sailors and accompany them on their first maritime adventures, whether in the bath or in seaside pools.
