Description

Until the early 19th century, La Cotinière was a natural paradise on the Oléron coast, protected by a pair of locks. A 135-meter dam was built in 1843 to reinforce this small fishing port, which is still very modest: only seven boats are moored!

Close to the coast, the villages of La Cotinière and Colombier are so characteristic of traditional Oleron “towns,” with their few houses on one level, as well as a medieval chapel, now covered by windy sand. The pier was expanded in 1862 and again in 1867. A thirty-meter pier was built at the same time.

However, these efforts are ruined by a storm in 1870, which reduces all these works. It was not until 1890 that the complex was rebuilt and the lighthouse came to supplement this infrastructure. Meanwhile, the fish market was built in 1910, while the ports were in full development. At the same time a canning factory was built; it produced sardines, the “cotinardes” .

The city’s dynamism makes it consider its erection into an independent municipality in 1913, but the project remains a dead letter 15. The following year, a new storm begins the dams.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
