Louison vous fait découvrir son métier de chaudronnier et ce qui l'anime au quotidien à travers son témoignage. Il est toujours assez étonnant de voir d’où commence la naissance des OVNI et des Cigale… L’arrivée des plaques d’aluminium prédécoupées sur palette… De cette forme initiale, plane, les hommes lui apportent rondeurs et formes autour du mannequin. Le savoir-faire de nos compagnons, comme Louison, réside dans l’assemblage par soudure-pointée. Ces feuilles d’aluminium de 4 à 10 mm d’épaisseur sont rapprochées et soudées entre elles pour devenir une coque, un pont et enfin un voilier d’une robustesse incroyable. Il faut compter 10 semaines en moyenne en chaudronnerie avant que cette unité en aluminium rejoigne l’étape de la peinture. ENGLISH PRESENTATION Louison makes you discover his job as a metalworker and what drives him on a daily basis through his testimonial. It is always quite impressing to see where the birth of the OVNI and the Cigale yachts begins ... The arrival of pre-cut aluminum plates on a pallet ... From this initial, flat shape, men bring curves and shapes around the mannequin. The know-how of our companions, like Louison, is in the assembly by point welded. These 4 to 10 mm thick aluminum plates are gathered and welded together to become a hull, a deck and finally a very sturdy sailboat. It takes an average of 10 weeks in metalwork before this aluminum unit reaches the painting stage.

Using the Imtra LED pop-up lights on the Hood 35 LM. Space saving, and a whole lot cooler than switches. #shorts #boatbuilding #lighting #newboat #customyacht

Do you know your Code Sails? Swipe 10 pics with info on these light wind power units. Cruising and performance sailors on yachts—especially those sailing catamarans—are increasingly turning to Code sails to fill the power gap between traditional headsails (genoas and above all self-tacking solents) and downwind spinnakers.  ▫️ These free-flying, furling sails combine versatility, relative ease of use, and performance across a range of wind angles in lighter winds. ▫️ But with names like Code 0, Code 65, 55, Code D, “screecher”, "reacher" and “gennaker” floating around, what do these terms actually mean? ▫️ Let’s break it down by sail type, wind angle suitability, and best use cases. ▫️ Term Screecher slang for flat Code sails (typically Code 65 or Code 0) Gennaker - Generic asymmetric sail between genoa and spinnaker; a.k.a a Code D SMG - Sail Mid-Girth (% of foot); defines sail depth. ▫️ What's your favourite light wind sail? #Sails #academy #learnsailing
