We
have designed this boat to fulfil the wish of sailors for
:
a
spacious, fast boat
with sober, practical, seaworthy and well finished fittings
a boat which elegance and speed make its owner proud
a boat easy to handle shorthanded
This
50’ cruiser is the outcome of all the light boats
we designed, especially the Vendée Globe boats. |
|
Hull
|
Wide
and stable.
Large draft and very low centre of gravity.
Twin rudders for a better control of the boat , choice of 1 or 2
steering wheels.
2 water ballast compartments, one on each side, to tune the boats
attitude.
They provide a good stability and allow to reduce heeling.
|
Sail
and rig
|
Simple carbon mast, rotating if needed .
Light runners used to tighten the forestay but not necessary
for manoeuvres.
All the sails handling can be executed from the cockpit.
The helmsman, from his aft position, can handle main sail
and genoa.
The dinghy is located on the stern platform, it can be lifted
using the boom as a crane.

Structure
and
construction
|
The
boat is built out of aluminium alloy:
5086 for the
external shell
6060T5 for the stringers
deck thickness is 3 mm
hull thickness is 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm
The hull is stiffened by 40X40X4mm stringers and 100X50X8mm (standard)
frames. To have a fast boat, we make the choice of a compromise
between solidity an lightness.
The keel fin is made of 10 and 20mm thick welded aluminium attached
to big frames through large stiffeners.
