Baldwin \u00ab Balo \u00bb DeRoche pr\u00e9sentant une maquette de demi-coque \u2014 la seule r\u00e9f\u00e9rence dont il disposait pendant tout le chantier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>

Baldwin DeRoche, dit \u00ab Balo \u00bb, est l\u2019une des figures majeures de la construction navale traditionnelle des Grenadines. Il travaillait \u00e0 Petite Martinique, l\u2019\u00eele voisine de Carriacou, o\u00f9 il b\u00e2tissait ses sloops \u00e0 m\u00eame la plage.<\/p>

Sa mati\u00e8re<\/h2>

Ses bateaux associent des bois choisis loin \u00e0 la ronde : bord\u00e9 en bali argent\u00e9 du Guyana, quille en greenheart, membrures en c\u00e8dre blanc, varangues taill\u00e9es dans du bois local. C\u2019est la combinaison classique des Grenadines \u2014 dure sous la quille, souple dans les membrures.<\/p>

Ses bateaux<\/h2>

Summer Cloud \u2014 1995, 39 pieds<\/h3>

Command\u00e9 par l\u2019homme d\u2019affaires antiguais Eddie Barreto pour remplacer son pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent sloop, Summer Wind<\/em>. Apr\u00e8s sa construction, le bateau a servi \u00e0 la p\u00eache et couru de nombreuses r\u00e9gates dans les Cara\u00efbes. Il a aussi servi de r\u00e9sidence flottante au cin\u00e9aste Charles Hambleton pendant le tournage de Pirates des Cara\u00efbes<\/em>.<\/p>

Beauty of Petite Martinique \u2014 2008, 48,5 pieds<\/h3>

R\u00e9alis\u00e9 pour Jeff Stevens, propri\u00e9taire et capitaine de la go\u00e9lette Jambalaya<\/em>.<\/p>

Savy \u2014 2007, 43 pieds<\/h3>

Le dernier sloop sorti de ses mains. Coque rouge, construit \u00e0 Petite Martinique. On l\u2019a photographi\u00e9 dans le port de St George\u2019s, \u00e0 Grenade, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Jambalaya<\/em>, Genesis<\/em> et Free In St Barth<\/em> \u2014 quatre g\u00e9n\u00e9rations de savoir-faire au m\u00eame mouillage.<\/p>

Ce qu\u2019il reste<\/h2>

Avec Savy<\/em>, en 2007, s\u2019ach\u00e8ve la construction traditionnelle de grands sloops \u00e0 Petite Martinique. Le savoir-faire de l\u2019\u00eele est aujourd\u2019hui inscrit, avec celui de Carriacou, au patrimoine culturel immat\u00e9riel de l\u2019humanit\u00e9.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
