The Muscadet is a 21.26ft masthead sloop designed by Philippe Harlé and built in plywood by Aubin (Chantier Aubin) between 1963 and 1977.
583 units have been built.
The Muscadet is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
