What Philippe Briand's boats do well
Philippe Briand has 34 designs in this archive, drawn between 1979 and 2019 for 7 different yards, from 7 metres to 23: a pencil that has worked at both ends of the sport.
The longest of those relationships is with Jeanneau: 21 designs between 1981 and 2019, 38 years of the same two names on the same transom.
The boats here have a recognisable way of going: they come alive in the middle of the range. In a proper breeze nearly all of them make back more than their rating asks, while the drifting hours are not where they shine.
