Stir-Ven 22
Designed by François Vivier
Stir-Ven 22 is a 6.70 m day sailer and raid boat with a 2.20 m beam. She won the revisited tradition category of a design competition run by the French magazine Chasse-Marée for a boat to go to the islands, and François Vivier counts her among his favorite designs.
She combines a clinker hull, a long deep cockpit and a gunter rig with plywood and epoxy construction, easy trailering and a 180 kg cast iron centerboard that the designer says makes her sail like a keelboat. Two can sleep in the small cuddy and two more in the cockpit under a tent. He reports about 50 built, nearly half of them by amateurs.
What building a Stir-Ven 22 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.
