This weekend, the Duguay-Trouin basin in Saint-Malo is hosting the first edition of the dory festival. The goal: to perpetuate the history of these small boats in wood, traditionally used for cod fishing. The Doris Emeraude Rance association (ADEM) and the Saint-Malo fishing company are behind the event.
Two days of festivities
The festivities began this Saturday with a race. 4 boats of 3 rowers were on the starting line. The Saint-Malo Fishing Company donated 50€, for each registered crewfor the benefit of the National Society of Lifeguards at Sea.
