"voile heureux"
Can somebody translate this without google, now hopefully you come back with what I want it to mean in English. The phrase has personal value to it but probably seems a bit odd to you guys :)
Thanks Adam

As you say not to use Google I assume you are not after the literal translation?
Sailing, cloth or clothing, give us a clue!
Ignore me though, my French is terrible.

Is it possible to show us a sentence with that in it?
I personally think it's a veil or something like that but I'm not sure...

I have a qualification in French believe it or not but it's been a few years since I have used the language.
And it should translate to "happy sailing"
I wanted it under a tattoo, doesn't seem a lot but is in remembrance of a friend who had a boat called happy and some of the best memories were in France. Hence why it needs to be right XD

It does mean happy sailing literally, but wouldn't make sense to a native froggy.

Vagues Heureux! Could mean happy waves (check the spelling!) but again I am not sure if it would be understood by a frenchie.

Bon voyage is a cliche for a reason.

That just means happy trip so not directly linked to sailing which I think the op wanted

I thought "voyage" was to travel or in conjunction with "Bon" journey. "Safe journey". Am I better off having the literal meaning?
