The Pointu |
Marc Vuilliomenet has decided to start the production of this traditional Mediterranean fishing boat, ideally suited to recreational use… |
|
|
Of robust construction, using mahogany strip planking and epoxy adhesive, the Mediterranean Pointu can sail all year round. Over-wintering on land is also possible as drying out is not a problem with these modern materials.
Designed for up to six passengers and fitted with the most recent low-pollution diesel engine.
Several options are available, as extras to the basic model. |
|
The hatches are in place, the mahogany trim being varnished and the paintwork started… |
|
Once the hull is finished and righted, the mahogany slats and the bulkheads (creating buoyancy
compartments) are fitted. The motor is placed between two watertight bulkheads to meet European standards. |
|
A construction in cold moulded mahogany. 3 crossed layers, glued with epoxy, using a vacuum pump system for good results. The mahogany frames are then attached to the hull, joining the keel, stem and stern post. |
|
The first Pointu was launched in the Port of St. Raphaël in November of 2006. |
|
The construction of the next boat will start this winter; This version will have a cabin and staysail rig. |
|
Built of cold moulded timber (wood / epoxy); Unsinkable, with self-bailing cockpit; 13 HP modern diesel engine.
LOA: 19'6" Beam: 7'6" Draft: 1'7" Displacement: 2,156 lbs Capacity: 6 persons
Some of the available options:
135 square foot staysail;
2 berths;
Teak deck;

The Ebihen |
This dinghy was designed by the architect François Vivier who has christened her "Ebihen".
Her length overall is 4M50, built in mahogany strip-planking (bois-moulé in French),
then varnished to my usual high quality standards. |
 |
A traditional skiff for sailing alone or with your family; Easy and flexible to sail, the Ebihen's metal centreboard gives her excellent stability and the possibility of sailing to the wind. |
|
The Ebihen is available with several different rigs, the Lugsail (illustrated on my site) for those who prefer simplicity; Traditional Gaff for more experienced sailors who will appreciate the lively handling, and "Bourcet-Malet" (Lugsail with standing lug mizzen), a rig commonly used in the channel and ideally suited to fishing. |
|
The Ebihen is ideally suited to be carried on a road trailer (available as an option). |
|
Those who prefer powered transport are not forgotten, as an outboard can be fitted in a well. The recommended type and power is 6HP 4-stroke. |
|
Her large cockpit is perfect for safe cruising… |
