A round yawl decked up in Mr.Bricolage style participated in the Martinique yawl boat race. This race takes place in several phases and is reserved for the traditional boats of La Martinique. The event was held between 26 July and 2 August this year. The Mr.Bricolage-PMU team, led by Joanny Lagin, made a good run, coming in 9th out of the 18 crews. Last year, the crew only managed 16th. The crew of the yawl, property of the association Las Palmas, is original in that all members are youngsters from the less favoured districts of the Robert municipality. This association has organised yawl sessions for youngsters in difficulty since 1994. Yawl navigation allows these youngsters to acquire basic values such as hard work, sharing and team spirit. Many youngsters have been able to turn over a new page in their lives by returning to school or learning a vocational profession.
