In the 1930’s Georges Seyler worked from a small boatyard at Le Perreux sur Marine on the River Marne south of Paris.  He built small boats for the river, rowing skiffs and canoes as rowing became a popular and fashionable leisure sport.   This is one of his Neptune Sailing Canoes.  It forms part of a private collection of small craft all of which are now for sale. This canoe has been stored in a dry barn for 30 years or more. The close seam, cedar planked hull is faultless still with the original varnish though now severely crackled. The dozens of close-spaced steamed oak timbers are in perfect condition as are the mahogany fore and after decks.   Original bamboo mast, yard and boom. Original wooden centre board.   Buttons round the gunnel originally too an inflatable bladder, now disappeared which gave the boat greater stability.   This canoe is reputed to have made a circumnavigation of the island of Sardinia.   This is a unique survivor frrom another age of boating and is in absolutely remarkable condition. Stripped and revarnished she will look magnificent and provide enormous sport.   Ask for more information on this and several other canoes and skiffs.
