This French shipyard, whose head office is located at Port de Pin Rolland, in the Var commune of Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer, was founded in 1972. It is currently managed by Serge Gallian, a great lover of sailing and regattas, who is also responsible for several other renowned sailing boats, including the Gouverneur, the Empérore, and the Gallian schooners.To design the superb boats with one hull on the Beaufort wind scale, the Société d'Études de Carènes did not employ carpenters, but rather workers experienced in industrial carpentry techniques. In addition, the project made the wise decision to call on the services of naval architect Jean-Jacques Herbulot. The latter is known as one of the figures who contributed to the democratization of sailing during the second half of the 20th century. In particular, he designed the plans for several very popular sailing boats such as the school centerboarder « Caravelle » (1953), the one-design cruiser « Corsaire » (1954), the plywood ballast centerboarder « Le Mousquetaire » (1965), or the light centerboarder « Vaurien » (1951).All designed for blue water cruising, the Beaufort 14, Beaufort 16 and Beaufort 18 evoke both power and elegance through their length and volume, but also impressalso impress with their distinctive design, which works particularly well with the ketch style and the molded epoxy wood hull
