Worth knowing
Briand; cover, cost and conditions
Briand is the name of the French yacht designer Philippe Briand, and the boat filed under it here was built by another company. The Club 86 came from Club Marine in France, drawn by Briand early in his career for the Half Ton class, one of the IOR rating divisions under which offshore racing was sailed in the late 1970s and the 1980s. She is a glassfibre fractional sloop, with the forestay meeting the mast below the masthead, a fin keel and a spade rudder. In short, a boat designed around the race course.
Our model records list one design under Briand: the Club 86, a sailing yacht of 8.65 metres with build years from 1977 to 1985. The source gives 1980 as the start of production at Club Marine. Nothing reaches into recent years, so every Club 86 today is a used boat of roughly forty years or more. The source figures: 29.36 feet overall, 24.93 feet on the waterline, a beam of 9.78 feet and a draught of 5.77 feet. Ballast and sail area point to round-the-buoys and offshore racing rather than cruising comfort.
A forty-year-old half tonner has usually been raced, and often raced hard. Look at the keel root and the hull around it for signs of past groundings, and at the rudder bearings, since a spade rudder hangs on its stock alone. A fractional rig works with a bendy mast, so check the spar for corrosion at the fittings and the spreader roots. Many boats of this era were modified over the years for rating reasons, and it pays to know what has been changed. A sound deck and a dry interior matter more than a tidy sail wardrobe.
