The Atlante (English: Atlas of mythology), is a French sailboat that was designed by Georges Auzepy-Brenneur and first built in 1965.[1][2]

Production

The design was built by Chantier Mallard starting in 1965 and by Archambault Boats of Dangé-Saint-Romain, France , starting in 1967. Production ended in 1977, with 280 boats completed. Archambault, which had been founded in 1967, went out of business in 2015.[1][2][3][4]

Design

The Atlante is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig. The hull has a spooned, raked stem; a raised, plum transom; an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 5,300 lb (2,404 kg).[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 4.27 ft (1.30 m) with the standard keel and is fitted with a inboard engine for docking and manoeuvring. It has a hull speed of 6.14 kn (11.37 km/h).[1][2]
