A monohull designed for foiling while cruising
Designed by Clément Bercault and Benoit Marie, the Skaw 38 is a cruising monohull equipped with foils. Directly inspired by the IMOCA and Mini circuits, it is expected to displace 4,500 kg and will be built in pre-peg carbon. The minimalist design and sandwich fittings will enable the weight estimate to be followed to the letter, a sine qua non condition to ensure easy flight for this 11.3m cruising boat.
First unit under construction
After signing with a first buyer, a call for tenders was launched to find a yard capable of carrying out this construction requiring a certain level of expertise. The Shoreteam shipyard, based near Caen, ticked all the right boxes for the project. Clément Bercault describes the early stages in the construction of this daring sailboat:
"Yesterday in Caen, our crack design team, accompanied by our loyal partner Malric Leborgne , validated the hull mold at our partner shipyard Shoreteam, part of the Grand Large Yachting group, which will build this boldly shaped machine with an exceptional program! A dash of ocean dreams, a pinch of fun and speed, all sprinkled with adventure, travel and beautiful anchorages..."
