June 2008: 2 news catégories, Quarters Tonners and Formule 40 (on Excel), I have not enought information on them to be "historique", it is more like "indications". And more than usually, I am looking for more and more informations...

These 2 catégories are difficult to update:
Quarters Tonners, because many ship have been built over the year everywhere in the world.

Formule 40, very good idea, but very short (3-4 years) experience due to the lack of media exposure.

 

29th of February, 2nd year: more than 72500 visits! The hit are minis's pages. Do not hesitate to send news to complete ship's files. Last infos received: half tonners "Ar Reder Mor" Joubert 82 et "Alonzo Bistro" Berret 76 are for sale, some news from 79's mini Tiki 21, and from others minis.
