The Requin is a sailing ship with very modern lines, drawn by a Finnish architect (Gunnar Steinback) in 1931, of a size - 9.6 m - definitely lower than the sailing ships of the races of the time, but definitely more accessible.
Short History of Half-Hulls: With the origin before becoming an object of marine decoration, the half-hull was a working tool for the carpenter of navy which was used of model and plan for the realization of the layout of the boat. The half-hull, represented with the 1/20ème, is still used nowadays. The half-hulls were often offered, by tradition, to the owner of the boat or were exposed to the building site.
The half-hull was a block of wood made up of an assembly of small planks carved by a carpenter to determine the future shapes of a boat. The small planks could be dismounted to visualize the watermarks. They made it possible to take measurements necessary in real size on the ground of the workshop in order to establish the layout of the frame.
The half-hulls of the Adze are carried out to leave various wood turpentines (paddouck, chestnut tree, wenge, mahogany tree...), on the old riggings (launches, barges, lobster boats, tuna boats, shelly, bisquines, sinagos, cutters...) or on the beautiful and prestigious sailing ships (Pen Duick, Shamrock, Endeavour, Requin, Dragon, Ranger, Britannia...).
