The orientable keel
A deeper swivelling keel (4.50 m) and a weighed down bulb, with an angle
of clearance of 45 ¨, completed by central ballasts, assure a better tacking stability
and offer the capacity to put the weight on the back, in the breeze. |

Hull
It is made in preimpregnated carbon.
The front is in monolithique. A sandwich of Nomex carbon
is used for the aft, the topsides and the deck.We obtain so a
good solidity and stability
of the hull put in work by JMV industries (Cherbourg).
A new hull
It is thiner at the floating waterline, more
curving in the topsides and globally more narrow.
We have so a powerful boat in the breeze and working well on the
wind, thanks to its sharpness. The frontal volume limits the charging
and the heeling balance facilitates the
control, in particular on automatic pilot.
Evolutions for the safety
The boat has a slightly more moderate width (5.60m),
a marked deck camber, a roof and a revolved
centre lowered.
