Having thus decided to pass to the real staem, I was registered with the Abv (French steamboat association). The annual meeting of theAbv, last year being held in DINAN, on the river Rance, located at 15 km of my house in Brittany,I could appreciate the pleasure of navigation, thanks to new friends. Because of course, a project like that, that are done between friends! Some presentations: There is first those which I knew before, George and Benoit, first are impassioned of mechanics with built many small engines steam, large handyman, he is the specialist machining in the group, Benoit, is the youngest (sixteen years old) but intellectual curiosity do not await the number of the years! therefore all impassions it and its dynamism given pleasure to see. Then there is those fully experienced tried with steamboat in full scale: Patrice who has his own boat, bought in GB, I will put the picture of its boat online very soon! Patrice is member of the Abv and of Sba, it is impassioned of steam, and motorbike. And then there are those, which built or build their boat, in Paris area, Bruno, of which I already spoke you who assisted of Jean-Yves, carried out Mélusine.
