Noirmoutier fisherman puts new netter to work

French fisherman Sylvain Gallais has already begun operating a recently delivered netter built by local yard Avizo Pro Marine.

Designed by Pierre Delion, 11.85- by 5.6-metre l'Entêté II will take the place of a 1984-built vessel in Sylvain's fleet that had become lost at sea earlier this year.

The newbuild is being operated out of Noirmoutier Island in the Bay of Biscay.
