In some race reports of 1959, F 12 is listed christened "Ballon Rouge". This name appears several times about her. And she is also said to be a Copponex design...
In several articles, Bravade (then Arion) is quoted and pictured as F 11.

A picture of "Bravade" displayed in "le Yacht" in 1956 shows her sailing with sailnumber F 11...
Was this number her original one, before being given to Alouette (F 7?)and then "Bravade" becoming F 12 in 1957?
