ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION – GOSSELIN SHIPYARD
Built in 2011 by the Gosselin shipyard, in Gouville-sur-Mer in the English Channel, this catamaran benefits from an artisanal aluminum construction.
The Gosselin shipyard is recognized for its know-how in aluminum construction and the production of custom-made units. This boat is therefore not a mass-produced model: it is an individual construction with its own character and design.
The aluminium hull is one of the main strengths of this unit. It is perfectly suited to its versatile sailing programme and for use in a variety of environments: coastal navigation, coastal shipping, estuaries, shallow areas and grounding on flat bottoms.
This unit is aimed at a buyer looking for an aluminium catamaran, a houseboat or a sea and canal boat, rather than standardised production.
A REAL SEA & CANAL BOAT
With an overall length of 8.80 meters, a beam of about 3.20 meters, a draft limited to only 0.80 meters and an air draft of 2.35 meters, this catamaran offers a particularly extensive sailing program.
Its shallow draft allows access to many shallow areas and to take full advantage of coastal anchorages, estuaries, estuaries and sheltered areas.
Its two-float configuration also allows for easy beaching on sand or flat bottoms, offering great freedom of anchorage and use. But one of its great assets also lies in its ability to operate on rivers, canals and waterways.
It is therefore possible to envisage different programmes with the same boat:
* coastal cruise;
* cabotage;
* navigation in Brittany and on the French coast;
* exploration of estuaries and estuaries;
* anchorages in shallow areas;
* grounding on a flat bottom;
* river navigation;
* Cruise on canals and waterways.
A versatile boat that allows you to move from the sea to inland waterways without changing your program or sailing philosophy.

This catamaran is equipped with two 115 HP Tohatsu outboard engines, for a total power of 230 HP.
This dual engine provides a reserve of power suitable for maritime navigation and cabotage, while offering the advantages of a twin-engine configuration.
Two independent engines provide significant redundancy in the context of a coastal programme and also allow good manoeuvrability when sailing in port and in confined spaces.
The engines have about 300 hours announced.
The boat has two fuel tanks of 130 liters each, for a total capacity of 260 liters.
