The early years of Yacht Designed by TANTON.
- Above drawing.
- My first One-Tonner design. At the time, when the R.O.R.C. (Royal Ocean Racing Club). Rules dictated the Ocean handicap system and Offshore racing in Europe.
- In 1968, during my Military Service, obligatory at the time, I was fortunate enough to be detached from the Bataillon de Joinville, and able to join A.F.C.A (Association Française pour la Coupe America). Balancing my time between sailing a 12 Metre, working for A. Mauric and Britton Chance, and tank testing a string of 12M.
- From a design point of view, and the highlight at the A. Mauric Studio, I was tasked with reproducing Intrepid, S&S America's Cup winner, from 2000 photos, and the rating certificate. I also did work on a 50-foot cruising boat. Unfortunately, the owner, a pilot, crashed an Air France plane in Martinique and died before the completion of the drawings.
- In my spare time, I designed several boats, including this One Tonner, very influenced by a drafting method developed by A. Mauric, all before computers, of course, and used to design a 5.5 Metre Class.
