Hello, sailors.

Does anyone know of this French design, built from the early '80s to
1990 or so when the company fell prey to a recession? I'm looking at
visiting one with the idea of using it as an offshore cruiser. It's a
fibreglass ketch with a small pilothouse, and it weighs about 20,000
lbs and is 37 LWL and 43 LOA.

Opinions desired.

Thanks,
R.

At one point I was considering the purchase of a Jouet 36 or 38. Did some
web research but was not able to find out too much. I didn't come across
anything that would turn me away from buying one though. I think some of
the boats were designed by Phillipe Briand. You might try posting your
question on uk.rec.sailing as these boats are more common in European
waters. I did that and got a couple of replies (which I didn't save).
If the price is right, and it is described to be in good condition, its
probably worth a look.
