18th of January 08, new mail address: histoiredeshalfs@orange.fr
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.
And also the announce of the Nieuwpoort
Channel Race through the website: www.channelrace.be
