| Classic version of Herbulot's Vaurien | |

Born in 1951, launched at the 1952 Paris Boat Show, the Vaurien was a revolutionary yacht: a shameless little rascal that made waves among the yachting fraternity. It must be said that it was a pretty strange idea to design a boat available to all those youngsters who, thanks to the Centre nautique des Glenan, were beginning to spend their holidays on islands around the French coast, acquiring a taste for sailing and the sea, a boat that would enable them to buy their very own boat. What a strange idea indeed! Why not continue to sail as a crewmember on dad’s yacht? And how would dad find a crew if the kids all went off to sail on their own? That would be a problem! And then not all the dads had boats, so the sea and sailing was not really something that was open to those kids. It was J.J. Herbulot’s wish to see as many as possible share his love of sailing. Something had to be done so they could all set sail. What was needed was something light, easy to handle, instructive and, above all, inexpensive.The material – plywood and glue – withstood the rigours of the boiling kettle and exposure to the elements on the balcony. Chancelog: V1.14: -Made few improvments on design -Recover the simple setup: Main sail and jib(min angle for jib is 18° as in Real Life). You can reach TWA 45° now. A bit faster than the real one but the behaviour seems to be equivalent. Beware to your placement on the boat!!! |
