Unrecognized sailing ships in Brest and Douarnenez 2004?

Especially at large sailing ship events it is possible, that we take photos of ships, which we have never seen before, that are unknown for us or that cannot be identified when exploiting the photos. The following shots were taken in France during the Brest and Douarnenez tall-ship festivals 2004. Perhaps you can help us to identify them. Do you know the following sailing ships? Please write an e-mail to . We are thankful for any hint. By the way, you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them. We don't have photos of higher resolution or in better quality so far. But you are the expert! This is a challenge! Can you put a name to these ships?
