Designed for circumnavigating the world, Douce France schooner
sail plan is powerful enough to maintain high average speeds in comfortable
cruising conditions. Our catamaran is characterized by 138' fine hulls and
eight shallow - drafted keels. She has a moderate overall beam to lighten the
loads in rigging and sails thereby reduce the weight of the boat. Douce France
was launched in September 1998.
Founded in 1983, the agency Marc Van
Peteghem & Vincent Lauriot-Prévost rapidly gained a reputation for
the design of racing and cruising multihulls. Florence Arthaud, Eric Tabarly
Laurent Bourgnon, Olivier de Kersauson, Lionel Péan and Philippe Poupon
are among the well-known skippers who have placed their trust in us to design
their racing machines. And some of the largest boat builders in France have
commissioned us to design their cruising catamarans. Using Unigraphics for CAD,
a velocity prediction program (\TPP) and software to optimize hydrodynamic
profiles for rudders and keels, the agency' is perfectly' equipped for research
and high technology in the domain of naval architecture.
Pure lines and the
finest wood, Douce France's interior is the essence of sobriety and elegance.
The sycamore-lined suites provide a discreet setting for delicate watercolors,
glass decor and richly-woven kilim rugs. With light filtering through wooden
shades, mahogany and rosewood furniture bring out an air of colonial charm.
The deck is built on two levels:
-On the coachroof, the pilot cockpit
with steering and all handlings offers the crew 360 visibility.
-Under the
flying bridge, the lower deck with exterior table provides a terrace for the
interior saloon, where guests may enjoy panoramic views.
The yacht is
designed to offer six suites (150 sq.ft.), each with en-suite toilets and
bathrooms. The eight crew members have separate accommodation in the forepaws.
Douce France is more than a cruising boat. Her design is such that passengers
may enjoy the comfort of a small ship as well as the ease and freedom of a boat
with its own unique character.
