After designing the Kouign Amann, here is a new boat much longer, for a family program. The hull forms are simple, with 2 chines plus a keel chine. The idea was to design a sort of new 'Armagnac" of the french well-known Philippe harlé. She offers a big volume compared to her "model" because of her large beam 3,30m (10.8 ft). We find 2 double berths and a good saloon with sea berths, a chart table, and a galley. All is luminous with the panoramic roof, which gives a headroom of 1,80m (6 ft) |

On the deck, we find a good free movement with a long cockpit where you can lie down at full lenght.
Aft, an opening transom create more space in the cockpit, and when it is up, a god security for children. Under the water, the first version of the boat is a draft of 1,40m (4,6 ft) with a simple bulbed keel for good stiffness. Ther are 2 rudders, which will fit with the future center-boarded version. About the rig and the sail area, it is classical, with shroods fitted just above transverse bulkheads. About velocity, the pichavant 8m offers a displacement-lenght ratio of 157 in load conditions, and 127 in light conditions: we are on a cruiser-racer. |
