 "Dobber"?

DobberN

They float on the water, waiting for a fish to drag them under. But then the fish will be dragged out of the water by the fisherman.
For me, Dobber is: Floating around without a plan.

I bought my Midget from Peter, a really nice guy who looked very well after her in the years he owned the boat. I could have sailed her without doing any maintenance work, but I wanted to change the name and a new colour above the waterline.
 
I had only two weeks time, weekends and evenings, because my trip to Morbihan/France was scheduled. 
 
Anyway, I never intended to buy a sailboat for spending many weeks of working on her. The idea was to do maximum sailing in the limited time there is.

Our Trip to the 13th EDITION LA SEMAINE DU GOLFE DU MORBIHAN - 26th MAI TO 1st JUNE 2025
 
 
Last week I went with a friend to La Semaine Du Golfe de Morbihan. We sailed in the Flotille I: "petit classique habitable <8m".
 
Fantastic sailing with CapeCutter19's, Cornish Shrimpers 17 and 19, numerous French designs, and many more. In our Flottile probably 150 boats. An incredible atmosphere and adventures sailing in the >9 knots currents caused by the tidal streams.
 
Our Midget 15 was one of the smaller boats in the fleet but we could keep up with most boats.
