Worth knowing
Chavanne Yacht- & Bootswerft; cover, cost and conditions
Chavanne Yacht- & Bootswerft appears in our records as a Swiss yard for aluminium boats and workboats. Its range falls into three name families, Ferstyle, Alustyle and Workstyle. Alustyle points to aluminium and Workstyle to working use, while one model is called Weidling, the name of the flat, traditional boat used mainly on the Rhine and its tributaries. The numbers usually give the length: the Ferstyle 730 is 7.3 metres, the Alustyle 980 9.8 metres and the Workstyle 610 6.1 metres. We found no reliable sources on the yard's history, so this page keeps to the model data.
Our records list ten Chavanne models, five motorboats and five motor yachts. Five carry the Ferstyle name alone (730, 750, 820, Classic 700 and Classic 1100), the Ferstyle Alustyle 14500 combines both names, the Alustyle 980 stands on its own, and three belong to the Workstyle family: Workstyle, Workstyle 610 and Workstyle Weidling. The Ferstyle 750 is the earliest entry at 1985, five models start in 1991, and nine lines are recorded until 2005, while the Ferstyle 730 stops in 1999. Lengths run from 6.1 metres (Workstyle 610) to 14 metres (Ferstyle Alustyle 14500).
These boats are now between twenty and forty years old, and a Weidling in the range hints at river use. The smaller Workstyle and Ferstyle models up to 7.5 metres are easy to trailer and slip, while the larger yachts usually come out by crane for the winter. Aluminium hulls shrug off knocks but dislike contact with copper and stray electrical current, so anodes and wiring deserve a check every spring before launching.
