local "pointu" fishing boat (+ desc. if necess.)] Explanation: You'll find a number of sites in English where the French term is used. Undoubtedly untranslatable, given the following. According to the text beneath the photo at http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/France/South/Provenc... "pointu" refers not to the shape of the keel but to the sort of phallic symbol seen in the photo, at the front of the boat. Also: LA BARQUETTE MARSEILLAISE Embarcation typique du Sud Est de la France. Entièrement réalisée en bois, sa taille peut varier de 4 mètres à 9 mètres et même plus. A l'avant le "Quapiant" (terme local) en forme de phallus, symbolisait autrefois la virilité et la force. Aujoud'hui, ce type d'embarcation a tendance à disparaître dans les ports et à être remplacée par "le plastique". Il est vrai que c'est un bateau qui demande de l'entretien. Chaque année il faut le mettre à terre, le grater, le peindre. Sans ça, il dépérie et au bout de quelques année, les planches ont tendance à se déclouer et le bois à pourir. Mais si son entretien est fait chaque année pour la coque, et tous les deux ans pour le pont, ses planches usées par le temps et la mer remplacées au besoin, sa durée de vie peut être presque infinie. Ce bateau, fait à l'origine pour la pêche, est également un bateau de plaisance par excellence. Sa stabilité sur l'eau au mouillage et son pont plat, permet de passer d'agréable journée en famille dans les calanques. [photos follow] [http://amd.alio.free.fr/pointu.htm] |
