Lateen sailed boat sailing in the Trobades, an annual festival, this year held on 1st September 2020, in the Anse de Paulilles or Bay of Paulilles, in Catalogne du Nord, France. Both llaguts (small boats) and sardinals (large boats) sail from Barcares to Cadaques. The colourful traditional catalan boats or barques catalanes with triangular sails, have been used since Roman times for fishing sardine and anchovy. On the left is the Cap Bear Lighthouse, 27m tall, built in 1905. Paulilles is a protected area of the Mediterranean between Port-Vendres and Banyuls-sur-Mer in Pyrenees-Orientales, on the Cote Vermeille or Vermilion Coast. Picture by Manuel Cohen
