Gareth Posted February 15 3 hours ago, Cabin-boy said: I believe it's Etretat. Ed. Yes, it’s certainly one of the Vissentinis. Three to choose from; not sure what the visual differences are between them in the appearance of the foredecks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cabin-boy Posted February 15 I think only Entreat has the upper part of her bow surround painted blue like that. Ed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Posted February 15 Thanks Ed - in that case, that makes identification easy. Well done! 😀 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Posted February 15 But I think you’re confusing the name of Normandy’s most notable costal landmark with everyone’s favourite French delicacy served a point with frites and sauce poivre! 🤣 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cabin-boy Posted February 15 Yes, Etretat not entreat, sorry. 8 minutes ago, Gareth said: the name of Normandy’s most notable costal landmark Surely that's Mont Saint Michel. Ed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Posted February 15 Maybe I should have said “attractive natural feature that is worth the effort to go and see”! That would have disambiguated it! 😉 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonno Posted February 15 It's Connemara, she's the only one of the Visentini's with the grate on the bow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyMWeaver Posted February 15 Both Connemara and Etretat have the grate on the bow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cabin-boy Posted February 15 Correct. But do they both have the raised platforms on each side? Ed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyMWeaver Posted February 15 5 minutes ago, Cabin-boy said: Correct. But do they both have the raised platforms on each side? Ed. Looks like it but the image from Instagram certainly looks like Etretat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonno Posted February 16 Yeah they do, both of them have the platforms. They're clearer on Etretat when she's Norman Voyager and when Connemara is Baltic Amber. I think the only obvious difference is that Etretat doesn't have the vent covers. I noticed the bow railings when Connie was in ANEK colours and we first saw pictures of her, never noticed them on Etretat before... Nice one Ed.
