"Belle-Creole"

Are you as we are in love with beautiful boats? classic schooners? marine culture? tradition?
Do you love as we do also fast sailing? races? regattas? speed? fun?
Have you souvenir as we have of exceptional days, windy, blue, sunny on board a beautiful classic schooner sailing fast with a happy crew?
We present today a new generation of great yachts, you've never seen on oceans the "classic-maxi".

A very light, fast and modern hull, in the "maxi-class" range, built of light woods/epoxy composite on an extremely resistant laminated structure, for brilliant performances in all events: races, regattas, transoceanic races and fast cruises! (buildable, of course, of other light materials on request).

A very pure classic style above the water line with all the charm and the elegance of a genuine traditional schooner huge deck of teck, decorated with varnished wooden skylights, hatches, hand-rail, a low and beamy coach roof at stern followed by a great round cockpit big enough for 14 guests around a low table at center (also lazarette hatch and water tide chart-table).
A very special and new rig, a true gaff rig but extremely modernized by carbon composite masts and spars, white painted, "champagne" colored sails with a very flat modern cut, handled by tracks and cars and hydraulic winches for maximum efficiency, and easy sailing a powerful working sail area needing only two crew (one is enough to tack!), and a giant racing sail area needing a little more crew of course! 30% more powerful than a modern rig on a light hull of a "maxi"!

Inside the layout is a pure traditional marine joinery of beautiful blond varnished woods, caning, honey leathers and Creole canvas, on a white painted ceiling, bulkheads and panelling giving clear and airy volumes a happy ambiance! keeping the colonial classic style of famous schooners!

In the charter layout version:
Going down the cockpit, the big saloon with a dinner and rest corner for 14 guests, a professionally implemented open galley bar, a big navigation desk with all the instruments. Tow steps ahead, four nice and luxurious cabins with private heads of course and going forwards an engine room of professional ship standard with a complete installation: engine with hydraulic transmission, two generators, two water-makers, pumps, air conditioner, hydraulic group, etc.

The crew quarter is independent, separated from the guest part, with a personal skipper cabin, and a big head equipped with a complete laundry.
In the owner layout version:
The saloon is a full beam one, with a dinner side, and a rest side with chart-table, music and video equipment
The galley is implanted ahead under the longer coach roof, with separated cooking-side and dish-side, two big fridges under sole, and two shutters can open the galley to the saloon.

Two steps down ahead are the two guests cabins with private heads, one is equipped with a single pulman berth in plus the double big bed. The main cabin is a splendid owners apartment with private companionway, big bed, sofa, and bathroom with a comfortable seated shower.
Engine room and crew quarter are the same in both layout versions.

The crew is: a skipper, a first mate, an hostess and a cook.

"Belle-Creole" the "classic-maxi" is the perfect alliance of the tradition and the pure marine culture with the most advanced concepts and technologies in matters of design and construction, for the enjoyment of speed but with the elegance, comfort, beauty and "art de vivre"! for owners, crew and charter guests! an exceptional yacht!
