Arsouin, an talented travel sailboat
Built on a Joubert-Nivelt plan by Form’Océan shipyard near Nantes in 1983, Arsouin is a solid 12-meter vessel designed for ocean navigation on all the seas around the world and which has come a long way since its launch.
As a lifting keel boat, she have a centerboard that lifts up giving it the freedom to come on a beach, the mouth of a river or a mooring zone. Its draught, 90 centimeters with the centreboard raised, is also a security because it allows safe entry into shelters with low water levels.
In Picard dialect, an arsouin is a sailor who is not afraid to go out to sea in heavy weather.
Arsouin shows seafaring qualities and performance that impress sailors who are generally suspicious about “4×4 of the seas” reputation of lifting keel boat.
Arsouin’s performances are due to the “magic pencil stroke” of two talented architects : Michel Joubert and Bernard Nivelt.
From Arsouin to Arsouin 40 hybrid
The basic idea of the project is to conceive a electric vessel with new ergonomics, redesigned curves and an innovative design, but in the continuation of the spirit of innovation and performance of the famous Joubert-Nivelt plan.
The layout takes advantage of the volumes gained by the elimination of the diesel engine and its accessories : a real innovation in the very conventional world of interior fittings for traveling sailboats, and an elegant interior by Le Havre designer Natalie Amoros.
