Thanks, Enrique. I amalgamated all three descriptions in the end (see previous question) but this is definitely the meaning intended, I think. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Stéphanie Soudais: 12:43pm Sep 17, 2008: Je ne pense pas qu'il s'agisse d'un "bad attempt at humor". Pour moi cela signifie que les embarcations ne sont pas des super canoës flambant neufs, mais de vieux engins ayant déjà beaucoup servi, voire des canoës improvisés... Sensations garanties !!
Sorry everyone. Too hasty to get all three on asap. The three terms (see my next two questions) appear in the following paragraph describing a kayaking adventure being organised by a children's holiday camp:
"Eh l'ami ! C'est au fil de l'eau et des paysages lotois que tu découvriras dans un cadre exceptionnel, la discipline qu'est le canoë-kayak.
Eh oui !
Bien calés dans nos coquilles d'oeuf d'autruche, barques trouées, canoës percés ou autres embarcations, nous t'accompagnerons à grands coups de pagaie dans ce périple à travers le Quercy."
Hope this helps.
