In 2015, I was approached by Louis Ducharme to fulfill a request from a client who wanted an electric-powered launch for boating on a Canadian lake. At the time, Louis owned a small boatyard\u2014now closed\u2014called Atelier Nautique Richelieu, located near Montreal, Quebec.<\/p>

I proposed a boat based on the Ebihen 16 design, which was perfectly suited in terms of size and offered good stability for peaceful cruising on inland waters. Propulsion is provided by a Torqeedo electric motor installed in a motor well. The interior layout was completely redesigned in the style of a \u201claunch\u201d to comfortably accommodate five people. The hull is clinker-built from plywood, and I provided the boatyard with a set of files for the CNC cutting of all the plywood parts.<\/p>

I am entirely open to continuing this project, either with an identical design or with modifications to the interior layout and the propulsion system\u2014whether electric or internal combustion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
