The crisis sharpens the wits: and what seemed like a “wacky” project, namely a sailing cabin cruiser of only 3.98 meters, is taking shape. And he is doing it in Italy, in a shipyard on Lake Como, at the Riva shipyard in Maslianico (the project belongs to the French Nantes-based Eric Henseval Yacht design studio). We are talking about the Inséparable 398. Photos of the finished hull have been posted on the Facebook page dedicated to the prototype: the launch is scheduled for March 2014.
HULL AND DECK
This tiny boat is made of okumé plywood with glass and epoxy (very pronounced “edge,” which in this case is not a choice but a design requirement given the material). The exterior finish, in white gelcoat, will be covered with a red film (as shown in the rendering photos). The deck will have a teak dolphin deck, and a collapsible mast is planned. Given its small size, the boat is suitable for coastal boating and “nautical camping”: consistent with this philosophy is the retractable rudder and centreboard for easy hauling, launching and carting.
INTERIOR
Below deck height is 107 cm, two bunks and a small kitchen are provided, as well as space for stowage. Another important feature is unsinkability, guaranteed by foam reserves under the bunks and dunnage.
