Association Nautique de l'Ile aux Moines

by Ivan Sache

Ile aux Moines (Monks' Island) is a small island and municipality located in the Gulf of Morbihan.
Gulf of Morbihan (in Breton 'small sea') is a small gulf of ca. 20 km width, separated from Atlantic Ocean by a narrow strait of 1 km width.
In the first century before J.C., Julius Caesar defeated the Venetes during a naval fight in what is now the Gulf of Morbihan (but geologists do not all agree that the Gulf was already constituted at that time.)

The Association Nautique de l'Ile aux Moines has a yellow burgee with a black border and the black letters ANIM.

Cercle des Régates du Goret

by Ivan Sache

Le Goret is a small port located on the Ile aux Moines.

The Cercle des Régates du Goret is a small yacht club with a membership of c. 50. The burgee of the yacht club is yellow with a red stripe placed along the hoist and a blue piglet in the middle. The burgee is canting since a piglet is in French called a goret.
