1980 Euroship cotre breton

This 1980 Euroship Cotre Breton is a wooden sailing yacht designed by French naval architect François Tos and built by the Euro-voiles shipyard in Hyères. At 26 feet overall with a beam of 8.5 feet, the boat features traditional Breton cutter design with an aurique wooden rig. A single Yanmar diesel engine of 16 horsepower provides auxiliary power.

The interior accommodates four berths and includes a small galley with refrigerator, gas cooktop, and head. Water capacity is 100 litres. The boat underwent major restoration work in 2016–2017, with all interior systems stripped and reconditioned. All plumbing and electrical systems were replaced, and a comprehensive refit was completed in 2025 prior to relaunching in August of that year.

The rigging received substantial renewal: the standing rigging was replaced along with all running rigging and lines, while the mast, boom, gaff, and boom vang were retained. A new mainsail dates from 2017, and a roller-furling jib was installed in 2018. An original trysail sees little use, and a restored staysail carries an original sail. New systems installed include a 100-litre water tank, drawer-type refrigerator, gas cooktop, hi-fi audio, and an electric windlass with permanently mounted anchor. An external removable Raymarine autopilot and removable Humminbird chartplotter system remain unused in original boxes. Engine batteries and house batteries are new; shore charging is available. Safety equipment includes three auto-inflating lifejackets and a safety line. A 3D Tender dinghy is aboard in excellent condition. The boat also comes with a winter cover and an included trailer.
