From the Estaque to the Goudes, and no doubt beyond, the small wooden boats, with engine and sail, which the traditional fishermen formerly sailed to go fishing off Marseille, are called "pointus".Today, this artisanal fishing is all but nonexistent.Boud'mer, an association of lovers of the deep and of these traditional vessels, decided in 2001 (when it was created) to bring them back to life while promoting workforce integration and new bonds of solidarity between the inhabitants.
Boud'mer first renovated two boats by first enlisting the aid of volunteers, and then of a job placement agency specializing in wooden hulls.In these boats, it offers neighborhood associations, retirees, and families, sea outings when permitted by the weather.
