Easy To Fly

Discover the nominees of the Special Yachts category. These 5 yachts are ingenious or innovative but do not belong to any of the previous categories.

Bihan 6.50

The Bihan 6.50 is a 6.50 m dayboat made of PVC vacuum foam with a lifting keel for cruising, for example in the Gulf of Morbihan, light and fast. With a capacity of up to four people, the deck plan is optimized to be maneuvered solo. The auric carbon rig, in addition to its classic look, offers small spars, easy to handle during the mastings and dismastings of the boat, for the transport during a change of water level, or for the wintering. A large companionway gives access to the interior of the boat, which allows two adults and two children to spend the night on board.

Easy To Fly

Easy To Fly is a flying catamaran with foils of 8,10 m whose objective is to propose a stable and easy access platform so that the flight in catamaran is not reserved any more to the professional sailors. To take off, you need to reach 8 knots of wind.

Scow EN 18

Scows are bowless boats with a rounded nose. The Scow FR 18 was designed by the Mortain/Mavrikios architectural firm and built by Franck Roy, known for his small classic boats. Like the other models, it is elegant and chic and ideal for fun.

Seascape 24

The Seascape 24 (7.30 m) is a one-design boat that is equally at home in regattas and in fast coastal cruising with the family. It really plays the versatility card. With its large cockpit and its voluminous fittings, we could well see in this modern design (bilge, straight planking...) a worthy successor to the Surprise which does not want to die out. This Manuard plan (like the 2 others of the range) is equipped with a 320 kg manual pivoting keel. 4 adults can sleep in the cabin. Extensions on either side of the keel plan allow to create a large double berth.

She can accommodate 5-6 people comfortably in an elegant and romantic atmosphere with a totally retro design. The cockpit houses a large sundeck while inside there is a large owner's cabin and a double guest cabin with two bathrooms.
