The Jeanneau Brin de Folie, also called the Folie Douce, is a French sailboat that was designed by Jean Marie Finot and Philippe Harlé as a cruiser and first built in 1970. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 1970 until 1980, with 820 boats completed. The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Folie Douce (English: Tender Madness), but in 1975, halfway through the ten-year production run, the name was changed to Brin de Folie (English: Touch of Madness). [1] [2] [3] [4] [14] [15] [16]
The Brin de Folie is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, one set of straight spreaders and aluminum spars with stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,614 lb (3,000 kg) and carries 2,425 lb (1,100 kg) of cast iron ballast. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The boat has a draft of 5.41 ft (1.65 m) with the standard keel and 4.83 ft (1.47 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The boat is optionally factory fitted with a inboard diesel engine of 10 hp (7 kW) or may use a small 10 hp (7 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [5] [6]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a single berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 24 U.S. gallons (91 L; 20 imp gal). Cabin headroom is 73 in (185 cm) in the main cabin and 61 in (155 cm). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 689 sq ft (64.0 m2). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
The design has a hull speed of 6.31 kn (11.69 km/h). [3] [4] [5] [6]
