River anchorage on the Blavet, 1.8 NM S of Hennebont and upstream of Lorient, in Brittany.
Guide
Approach and anchoring
Navigable up to Hennebont for drafts under 2 m on a rising tide, with lock access to the canal from Nantes to Brest above the town. Soft mud bottom, full 360-degree protection from the wooded banks. The stream reverses with the tide, so check the anchor has reset after each turn. Check clearance under the two road bridges at Lanester and Kerentrech.
Practical
No services on site, though a small pontoon in poor condition gives somewhere to lie for a night. Water and fuel at the Kernevel and Port-Louis marinas 4 NM downriver at the Blavet mouth. Train station and shops in Hennebont village upstream.
