We have been building aluminum sailboats in France since the 1970's, and are well known in Europe for high-quality cruising yachts. We have also built in aluminum for BOC and Globe Challenge singlehanded round the world races, and various specialized and experimental vessels. We are custom builders, but most of the hulls are to one of several semi-standard designs, since the cost is lower when we have already built the jigs.
The French design centerboarders generally have no fixed keel, and are designed to dry out on the tide when required, and draw only 3 to 4 feet with the board up, so are able to use many anchorages closed to keel boats. The hull shape and strong construction improve the odds if you pound on a reef (but you would never do anything that dumb, would you?). Our boats have been to 80 degrees North in Spitzbergen, and down to the Antarctic ice, and a high proportion have traveled far.
