Sirene du Saloum
Designed by Paolo Lodigiani and Matteo Costa
The hulls take their shape from the traditional Senegalese pirogues, which are beautiful and extraordinarily well suited to their work. The building method, stitch and glue, is new to Senegal, where boats are still built by very cheap and semi-primitive means that give away a great deal in strength, durability and watertightness. The firm is candid that building in Africa taught them as much about the limits of the idea as its potential. She works as a charter daysailer for eight passengers and two crew.
A 9.80 m catamaran whose hulls take their shape from the Senegalese pirogue, drawn for stitch and glue plywood in a country where boats are still built the old way. Chine hulls.
What building a Sirene du Saloum actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
