All about Yachting France brand
As one of the partners, Paul Jouët gave his name to the former Blondeau de Sartrouville shipyards. This was in 1927, when the small town of Yvelines, on the banks of the Seine, was famous for its shipbuilding. The Jouët et Compagnie shipyard built cruiser-racer sailboats, but also lifeboats and utility boats for the colonies.
At the 1962 Boat Show, the Golif, a mass-produced 6.50m (21.35ft) polyester sailboat, made history, with 192 orders placed in just 10 days! Later, Jean Lacombe crossed the Atlantic on one during the 1964 Transat, won by Eric Tabarly. Yachting France has done a lot to popularise yachting!
In the early 1970s, Dubigeon-Normandie created a subsidiary dedicated to yachting that it named Yachting France. It included names such as Jouët, Lanaverre, Morin and Arcoa. Although some deplored the loss of traditional craftsmanship, the organisation enabled French yachting to make the transition into mass yachting by offering such iconic boats as the Shériff, a small 6m (19.7ft) cruiser designed by Philippe Harlé, 1300 of which were built between 1968 and 1976, the Calife, the Tarentelle and the various Jouët yachts. Although now quite old, these boats have stood the test of time.
Of course, boating has evolved over the last 40 years, but for the price of upgrading the rigging and fittings, a second-hand Yachting France boat can be made good for many more years of family sailing.
