History of the Caravelle

The Caravelle was designed in 1953 by Jean Jacques Herbulot. Initially it was a dinghy used to reach an anchorage from the shore with the help of oars or sculling. Then, at the request of the Glénans, a mast and sails were added, making it a sailor's boat, much sought after by sailing schools for the initiation of young sailors during collective sailing trips.

The historical Caravelle has a hull with sharp chines and a bow roller. Plastic caravelles, generally heavier, chubbier and more austere than the wooden versions, have also been produced. It is a good, safe, seaworthy boat that can easily carry 4 crew.

There are not many advertisements and often it is a boat that belongs to clubs or communities rather than to individuals. However, it is a fairly inexpensive dinghy and therefore quite accessible for a family programme for example.
