Draw within the Ribadeau
Dumas office, this day boat is a perfect combination of classicism and
modernity. With her overhang, her wooden deck, her little roof and her
varnished
coaming, she has esthetic’s code of classic boat. The adoption of
modern
solutions
like a strip-planking hull, modern appendages or a efficient rigging
guarantee
light displacement, performance and a very pleasant helm’s feeling.
This boat had been
powered with an electrical motor.

Baidarka
The intellectual curiosity is at the origin of this
project: intrigued by the very particular hull shape of this aleutian
kayak (Aleutian island, north Pacific), Marc Ronet have compared the
empiricism of traditionnal construction to the rigour of numerical
analysis. The construction of this replica have been realized in
parrallel of a numerical simulation study. (see picture here)
Construction:
As the original, the skin-covered structure is only built using
lashing. The long hull shows a main section placed rear from amidship,
a bifid bow and a deep V-bottom section.
Lenght: 5.40m Beam: 0.5m
Weight: 18kg Material: yellow pine, willow

Numerical analysis: The
Baidarka's hull has been compared with a modern sea kayak's hull one
the same length, beam and displacement. If at low speed, both are
similar, the baidarka turns out faster when speed increases. Thus at 5
knots, the gain in propulsive power is close to 20%.
Hermione
For 6 years, I was part of the design team in charge of the studies and
the
supervision work
of the Hermione’s construction. As such, I have drawn 500 technical
drawings necessary
for the yard:
-
Structure and
fastenings drawings
-
Rigging and spars
drawings
- Ground tackle, rudder, cutwater…
- Forged hardware and fittings
Besides the study work, I have supervised the work on each weekly
visit.

Hemione's longboat
In parallel of the
frigate’s work, the three Hermione’s longboats were built. After
historical research in the naval architecture’s manual of this period
and visits
in marine museum, the complete set of drawings have been redrawn.
True to the
historical way of construction, the longboats are exclusively made of
oak. Handmade
sails, forged hardware contribute to the strong feeling of authenticity
of this
boat built by the Alexandre Genoud Bateau Bois Shipyard.

Toue
Cabanée
Developed in
collaboration with the ABR shipyard located in Bouguenais (near
Nantes), I have
drawn this Toue Cabanée when I was working for the GRD office. Designed
to
be used as a bed and breakfast on
the Loire river, this Toue had to be reliable and functional.
Built in aluminum, with
a double bottom hull, twin engine and twin rudder, this configuration
guarantee
safety and good maneuverability. The timber framing house will equipped
with
all modern comforts. The inner cockpit provides user-friendliness and
conviviality.
Based on the same hull
principle, diverse kinds of Toue can be studied, notably for living or
passenger purpose: . See
