“The platte, carry a Flambart rig that is widely used on the coasts of Normandy, this boat, thus wooded and with a round stern, produces a type of boat that can really be defined as Villervilleis .The model was taken from the book “Le Modelisme Naval- Plans, Styles et Techniques” and several passages of text that I include below are from the article about this boat by Francois Renault published in the magazine Chesse Maree No. 13.
