Which yacht is this?

[Knut Grotzki]

Cruising Brittany with my wife in a camper. Having a look into each harbor we come across. Yesterday in Saint Malo - what a lovely corsair city built like a castle (intra muros). Waiting for the bus I saw this ingenious 50 ft. wishbone cat yacht (smartphone shot, the grey one). Many small rectangular hull windows - why? Nice pilot chairs for the helmsman. Wishbone line a triangle - lighter?

Many questions - does anybody know the designer/owner?

Don't know why they are bothering with fenders...?

A 50 foot cat rigged Wally painted using spares from a navy surplus store ???

It would actually probably look half decent in any other colour and I bet it looks interesting under sail!

Not pretty, but form follows function. The French seem to have a bit more freedom of thought when it comes to design than the rest of us. I like it.

The BMBB-45 (Bendy mast, boxy boat)

The weird features of that boat just scream “home built,” but it looks to be remarkably well done!  I like it!

Hi Knut

I know the owner, and the designer is Julien Marin.

I can get you in touch with the owner if you want
