The Brick (English: Brig, referring to the class of sailing ship) is a French sailboat that was designed by Jean-Jacques Herbulot and first built in 1964.[1][2][3]

Production

The design was built by Chantier Mallard starting in 1964 and by Archambault Boats of Dangé-Saint-Romain, France, starting in 1967, but it is now out of production. Archambault, which had been founded in 1967, went out of business in 2015.[1][3][4][5]

Design

The Brick is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of wood. It has a 9/10 fractional sloop rig, with a single set of unswept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a raised reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. The deck has a reverse sheer.[1][3]

It displaces 3,968 lb (1,800 kg) and carries 1,543 lb (700 kg) of ballast. It has a hull speed of 6.19 kn (11.46 km/h).[1][3]
