A production quarter-ton cruiser-racer from the 1970s, the Ecume de Mer is a surprisingly good small cruiser, with remarkably good accommodation for her size. They are fast, especially to windward, and easy to handle. The prototype of the Ecume de Mer ("Sea Foam" in French) was designed in 1968/69 as a hard-chined hull, by Jean-Marie Finot, and was a successful racer. The round-bilge GRP production version of the Ecume de Mer was first built in 1970. In its first year the standard production design won the Quarter Ton Cup, and remained in production until around 1980, with various minor alterations to the design, mostly to deck and coachroof layout. As well as being built by Roger Chatiers Mallard in France, the Ecume de Mer design has also been built in Japan, Holland and Australia. About 1,400 have been built in total.
