Helpful Posts: Mainly of interest to those who sail. A section of the harbour at La Rochelle contains a museum of vintage sail boats. These are four examples. No.4, not so vintage.

Thanks Dan. You would love this place if you like boats. Apart from the main harbour and museum section there is also a fairly recently developed marina, Les Minimes, close by which accommodates over 3,500 boats.

Lots and lots of ropes there too. I think you missed having a human in any of them...

Yes, no shortage of 'old rope' here. Strangely there were very few people around and my wife is ultra camera shy.
