Hull length: 4.60 m
Waterline length: 1.45 m
Weight: 200 kg about
Sail area: 10 m\u00b2<\/p>

Launched in 1982, the Aven was the forerunner of the sail-and-oar dighies that have become so popular since then.
Its shape is inspired by traditional Breton boats, with a plumb stem and a fairly pronounced transom rake. The standing lug rig is as simple as can be. When tacking, simply pass the sheet from one side to the other and sheet in again.
It is equipped with a centerboard and the rudder can be raised to approach the shore.
Two long oars allow for \u201cbow\u201d rowing with one rower per bench, or double rowing if you are alone.
The Aven is strip planked with steam-bent frames. The strips are glued together (using resorcinol at the time) and nailied on edge. It was designed for professional construction and nearly 100 were built by Constructions Navales de Loctudy, Jean de Massol’s boatpyard. They can occasionally be found on the second-hand market.<\/p>

On request, I am willing to draw up a complete set of plans, taking into account the improvements made over the years, to enable new constructions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
