Most twin-keelers discussed in this newsletter are older boats, many as old as 30 years or more. But there are still twin-keelers in production today, in the UK as well as in France. One of them is the Bi-loup 30, produced by Wrighton Yachts, apparently a French company despite the English name. The yard produces twin-keelers in three sizes, the smallest and oldest design of 7.6 meters length and the other two 30 and 36 feet long. All are twin-keelers with a modern looking underwater shape, but a somewhat clumsy looking coachroof, which, I am sure may appeal to some people because of it's quite spaceous interior. Here are some pictures of the Bi-loop 30 from their website. Pictures of the other boats can be found there.
The yachts are marketed "for family cruising, with maximal habitability, both inside and outside".
Happy valentine!
