La Vaudoise, Historical sailing barque in Ouchy, Switzerland
La Vaudoise features 22.65 meters in length, a beam of 6.9 meters, and spreads 140 square meters of lateen sails across Lake Geneva's waters.
Built in 1932 on the French shore of Lake Geneva, this transport vessel was acquired by the Pirates of Ouchy brotherhood in 1948 for maritime heritage preservation.
The vessel maintains Lake Geneva's maritime traditions through regular sailings operated by volunteer crews who share navigation techniques with passengers.
The boat accommodates groups of 35 passengers for two-and-a-half-hour sailing experiences, with reservations available for private events on Lake Geneva.
In 2004, this lake vessel completed a 1,257-kilometer journey to participate in maritime festivals in Brest, marking its first navigation in saltwater.
