Yvon Le Corre (7 October 1939 – 25 August 2020) was a French painter, educator, and navigator.[1] He was also the author of several books and stories.
Le Corre served as a professor in Marseille, where he instructed Titouan Lamazou and inspired his passion for sailing and travel sketches. Le Corre's expeditions led him to Ireland, Morocco, Portugal, Brazil, Mauritania, and Antarctica. He sailed on traditional wooden boats.
Le Corre was twice offered to be Peintre de la Marine, which he declined. He also declined membership in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He released L'Ivre de mer, a sketch dedicated to his voyages in the numerous ports of Brittany. He won the Prix Mémoires de la mer of the Académie de Marine on 8 March 2012 for this work.
Le Corre lived and worked in Tréguier. He owned the English shipliner Girl Joyce, a 150-year-old rig which he restored himself.[2]
