HELEN is the first in a remarkable triptych of late 1930s 3rd International Rule 8-Metres drawn by experienced designer to the Rule and Olympic gold medal winning helmsman Sir Thomas Glen-Coats; built on the Clyde in consecutive years at the Mylne family’s Bute Slip Dock Co. yard, where Glen-Coats was a director and major backer. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/765/HELEN They were among the last full keel 8mRs built in Britain and represent the pinnacle of truly classic 8-Metre design. At the end of her initial class-racing days, conversion by her original builder to an able, and of course fast, cruiser-racer kept HELEN very much alive, so that when the 8-Metre Class revival began in the early 2000s, she was a natural subject for restoration and application of the subtle authenticity and performance treatments allowed under the Sira Cup World Championship Rules for boats built before 1960. HELEN is very well equipped and optimised to be competitive at the next major 8mR championship and simply to be enjoyed as a supremely elegant and fleet of foot day/ weekend racer-cruiser.
Jeudi 12 mars matin, petite brise à l'horizon, idéale pour une sortie dans la baie des Sables d'Olonne pour l'équipe commerciale Alubat ! Hakim Rahmoun, nouveau Directeur Général d'Alubat, est à la barre de ce chantier naval Sablais depuis janvier 2020 et teste pour la première fois le nouveau voilier de grand voyage 100% aluminium, l'OVNI 400. Denis Vanlaere, Responsable export, assure les réglages pour optimiser les performances de ce dériveur intégral tout confort ! Cécilia Edeline, Responsable commerciale France, immortalise cette sortie derrière sa caméra ;-) et a pu tester avec grand plaisir la manoeuvrabilité de ce voilier dans le Port Olona. A l'unanimité, l'OVNI 400 est réactif et très doux au passage de la vague et l'ensemble des manoeuvres de voiles s'effectuent en toute sérénité et sécurité, bien protégé dans le cockpit. Petit aperçu rapide à travers cette vidéo du plaisir à la barre ! Qui sera le prochain à venir le tester ?
