The Break Even meets some very specific needs. Used to push barges or other floating structures, it can sail almost anywhere thanks to its very shallow draft.

We developed a pulley system made of two hydraulic winches that allows barges and other floating structures to be attached “crossbow-style.” The boat also needed to be transported by road, so the cabin was designed to be removable. This allows it to sit on a low-bed trailer.

While the square hull made the boat easier to build, its small size called for a certain agility from our team.

The model was revisited and improved six years later with another boat, Le Hervé.
