Cosa tratta questo video

Chantier Hervé in La Rochelle specializes in finishing aluminum hulls manufactured by the META shipyard in Tarare. Founded in 1946, the family-run facility handles the complete interior fit-out for vessels, including insulation, electrical systems, painting, and rigging.1:04 The shipyard works primarily with META’s "Strongall" construction method, which utilizes thick aluminum plating—18mm in the hull bottoms, 15mm at the waterline, and 10mm to 12mm on the topsides—to create robust, heavy-duty hulls capable of navigating extreme sea conditions.2:18 The current project involves refitting the boat Jade, an aluminum vessel originally designed by architects Michel Joubert and Bernard Nivelt.1:57 The team is modifying the interior layout to suit the specific requirements of the new owners, balancing existing features with custom updates.3:50 The process concludes with the final launch and stepping of the mast.3:10
