Description
Ready about! The shout rang across the bay as the little sailboat swung through the wind, its sail snapping and its crew of three ducking under the boom. Captain Papa grinned behind his sunglasses. First Mate Inès, aged nine, gripped the tiller with fierce concentration, while Deckhand Louis, aged six, clutched the round life saver as though it were the most important job on the ocean, which, he was quite sure, it was. Back at the dock, Maman waved a towel and counted heads, just to be safe.
This sailboat brings back the joy of those family days on the water. Its hull and sail are painted in vibrant colors, and a classic life saver adds a playful nautical touch that every sailor will recognize. It makes a delightful present for a family that spends summers on the coast, a new boat owner, a sailing instructor, or a child heading off to sailing camp. Set it on a beach house shelf among shells and driftwood, on a desk beside a framed photo of the boat, or on a nursery shelf with a nautical theme.
