“Bois de la Chaise” regatta. Poster of the 30th edition

They were there already in the late 19th century. In Noirmoutier island. They are today one of the largest gatherings of traditional sailing units on the Atlantic coast. Reborn 30 years ago thanks to the association La Chaloupe, les régates du bois de la Chaise bring together sailing, ship carpentry and image lovers. Three reasons why I feel so close to this event. My Dad competed and won many years in his category with “Sterna“, a tiny dinghy he built by himself. My son spent years observing both the regatta and the carpenter workshop. That may well be part of what inspired him to become a ship carpenter. I started to paint in those years. Every summer, the new poster unveiling was an exciting opportunity to discover another painter.

  1. Dear Antoine,

    We fell in love with your gorgeous poster when we visited Noirmoutier in 2019 and bought a print from La Chaloupe to bring home. to UK Unfortunately the print is now damaged and I am trying to find a replacement. Are you able to sell me a copy or a high resolution file which we could print out? We would be very grateful. Thank you in advance for your help. Kate

    • Hi Kate,
      Thank you so much for your interest in my work. This poster was sold out the same summer it was published.
      I’ll send you a separate note with some ideas for replacement soon. Check your box 🙂
      Take care,
      Antoine
