Graine d'Etoile is an aluminium monohull, with only 1m draft and flat bottom.
<>When using the shifting keels, the draft can be as much as 2.2m.
<>The beautifull hull of this boat gives her a remarkable stability in all conditions, especially in rough weather.
<>As usual, you can equilibrate the boat with the sails, but on Graine d'Etoile it is possible to use the shifting keels to reach the best combination too.
On a run, there is no yawing and the wind vane has little trouble keeping it on its course. |
<>The hull is made of strong AG4MC alloy, 6mm thick, with 12mm for bottom. It has been fully repainted in 2010, in New Zealand.
