Toulinguet
Designed by François Vivier
Toulinguet is an 8.48 m classic cruising yacht with a 2.80 m beam, drawn in the spirit of the wooden yachts of the 1950s but built with modern wood techniques. She has classic hull lines, a long keel with lead ballast, a discreet coachroof and a large cockpit, with accommodation for four.
Construction is on an egg-box structure of marine plywood bulkheads, with a single plywood panel for the bottom and cold-molded plywood for the bilges and sides, all from parts cut on a CNC machine. The designer states that she can only be built from a CNC-cut plywood kit. The first one was built by a home builder and took about 3,000 hours.
What building a Toulinguet 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.
