What Joubert/Nivelt's boats do well

Joubert/Nivelt has 38 designs in this archive, drawn between 1977 and 2023, and 12 yards have built them. Nobody keeps this one to themselves.

The longest of those relationships is with Archambault: 15 designs between 1977 and 2012, 35 years of the same two names on the same transom.

The boats here have a recognisable way of going: they are quick when there is little wind. In light air nearly all of them make back more than their rating asks, and nearly all give some of it away once the breeze fills in and the day turns serious.

The A 31 of 2009 is the most efficient design here, with a Race Edge of 87.

It holds for the Fun of 1982 as much as for the Mat 107 of 2018: the size changes, the character does not.
