Salon Nautic Paris 2011

A visit to Paris before Christmas is always pleasant. A nice plateau of oysters with a good Sancerre!
The nautic expo is a good excuse. By the way it is the only place in Europe where you can see aluminium boats from Allure and Alubat.

Allure has acquired Garcia. They are making this strange combination of aluminium hull with plastic deck and interior. The tecnique reduces costs and allows to create a deck with a look more attractive to modern sailors.



But I would never trust this rail!



I am now looking more at construction details than at appearance. Forepeak of the 45". Clean a little bit "light" construction.

 Nice mast support.


Good finish


Also the 445 Ovni has some interesting ideas


The air conduct for the engine


The rollbar with the tender lift copied from Jean Pierre Brouns idea on the GT40


A solution for the anchor


 But wood is still wood!
