The launching of the new Cigale 18 by Marc Lombard Studio marks an important new step in the production of Chantier Naval Alubat, the shipyard located in Chateau d’Olonne, France, which specializes in aluminum sailboats. The boat followed the first OVNI Evolution 52, also signed by Lombard. Strength of the hull is the fixed aluminum keel that provides high performance. Here are the first photos of the launching:
