This long-distance sailing boat is distinguished by its appendages since it is only offered in a twin-keel version. But it also demonstrates a more advanced search for performance and comfort than on the Iroise 46 and its very modern look makes it a unique unit in this niche of long-distance sailing boats.
With the Allures, Alubat, Garcia and Boréal shipyards, France is well-stocked with specialists in long-distance sailing boats made of aluminum, in the tradition of the famous UFOs that made the reputation of the Alubat shipyard. A type of robust boat thanks to their material and versatile due to their lifting centerboard. The shipyard Bord à Bord, based in Northern Brittany in Plestin-les-Grèves, plays a significantly different score by offering a twin keel here. A solution that allows the boat to be placed easily while maintaining a fairly low center of gravity with a reasonable weight estimate. Of course, the draft is not that of an integral centerboarder and a lifting keel will allow better performance upwind. But the choice of the twin keel seems well suited to a long-distance cruising program with the reliability of fixed appendages and the possibility of leaving the boat firmly installed on land while being able to work on the hull.
