Monotype of Arcachon
A historical sail boat to sail into the wind
Since 1912, the Monotype of Arcachon designed by Joseph Guédon has trained many helmsmen. This charming cat-boat is equipped with a houari rig making it easy to rig and steer. Very light, the Monotype of Arcachon is easily transportable on a trailer and can therefore accompany you on all your outings at sea or on rivers.
The freedom of a gaff sail
Modernized with its polyester hull available in the color of your choice, the Monotype of Arcachon retains its varnished mahogany finishes that make it so unique. Versatile, it can operate under sail, with its oars or even be equipped with an outboard motor on its transom.
Each model has Oregon pine spars, wooden blocks, a half-width beige sail, a deck filler and a mast support.
