L’Equipe

L’Equipe is a two person dinghy. It’s sign comes from a French sport magazine L’Equipe. Two person class for children between 10 and 15 years of age. The requirement of the monotype, concerns the majority of construction elements including the single fittings. This is one of the basic assumptions of the constructor, who in this way wanted to eliminate the fittings/accessories differences among children.
It is a very fast boat equipped with trapeze easily entering the glide with construction and sailing technique similar to the Olympic classes.
From the educational point of view, an important advantage of the class is the even division of roles and responsibilities between the crewman and helmsman.
