Vessel has reinforced plastic hull.
Built in 1979 when her owners added a Saint Malo to Jersey service to their Granville route, this vessel may have gone under the name TECIMAR whilst undergoing trials.
She arrived in Jersey for the first time on March 21 1979 and then maintained a summer service on the St. Malo route with the occasional calls at Sark and Guernsey to cover for the BRITTANIA until Friday September 19 1986 when after a day of extra calls to Sark and Guernsey she suffered a major engine breakdown on the return to Saint Malo and was not seen again.
She then remained laid up Saint Malo for a number of years, being seen there as late as September 1998 in a very poor condition. By 2000 she had been removed to Brest, but in May 2002 her owners were ordered to remove the vessel together with KOMETA from the port on penalty of a 150 euro fine per day. This resulted in the vessels being moved to the “Cimetière à bateaux” at Landevennec, near Brest.
There she remained with KOMETA, being joined later by KEVRENN.
On July 13 2010 JAGUAR slipped her mooring, and in tow of two tugs headed up the
