The progress of the boat:
 
  • Stable of shape, It well "carries the cloth" as close hauled as reaching.
  • The hull doesn't deform much close hauled and allows well to control the boat.
 
 
 

The control:
 
   
  • From the cockpit, the crew sits well and has a panoramic vision of the whole horizon.
  • Every manoeuvres return to the cockpit.
  • The engine is placed in a opening of the transom.
   
 
 
 

The accomodations:
 

Lune de Mai includes:

  • Four berths, (of which two are central and two are placed at stern)
  • A small folding galley
  • A table on standions
  • One foreward toilet cabin
 
 

The security:
 
The boat is not certainly intended to face all the winds and all the seas. It is conceived for the coastal cruise by easy to handle weather but is stable enough to bring in to the port with a wind from 25 to 30 knots. The boat laid flat on the water rights itself easily by light weather. On the other hand, under a wind from 25 to 30 knots it can not get up. To face these conditions, a boat of more than 6 metres and more than one ton of displacement is needed.
 
 

The structure:
 
Lune de Mai is structured by a backing moulded stuck in the bottom which stops halfway of the plating. It holds the plating and carries the weight of the ballast. An aft partition and two partitions abeam of the mast as well as the standion give a boat that will not lose its shape.
