The SuperCalin,
a plywood multichine race machine.
A design of JP Magnan.
35 of them build, end 2003. This design is an attractive boat. Well build and good looking. The designer is know from other Mini designs and I know that he has designed a quick Mini [nr828]. This boat sailed to a second place overall in 1997. And the SuperCalin did very well in the 2001 Transat 650. The boat is build over a mould by Magnan
self. To be a Production Boat it is not allowed to build him yourself.
The hull is plywood covered with a mat and epoxy and the deck a sandwich of foam and epoxy. Why do you see not much SC sail around ? The yard has a limited production, and not every SC turns up in the racing circuit, from the Pogo less then 25% shows up in Class Mini races. SC produces 12 a year, that means in same numbers 3 a yr. appearing on the racing course, and that is about right. Contact;
