    History and Design

    The Mediterranean Sharpie traces its roots to the nautical construction traditions of Provence and Italy. Its streamlined design, with a fine bow and pointed stern (hence its name), was optimized for navigating the coves and ports of the Mediterranean. Its gaff rig, inherited from 19th-century working sailboats (fishing, cargo transport), offers a unique visual spectacle and an authentic sailing experience.

    These boats are often restored or hand-built according to the original plans of the Meulan School or other Mediterranean shipyards.

    Tips for Buying a Used Mediterranean Sharpie

    • Check the hull condition: Inspect for rot, cracks, or delamination (especially in wooden hulls).
    • Rigging condition: Mast, boom, standing and running rigging should be in good condition (no rust or worn lines).
    • Maintenance history: Restoration documents, new planking, anti-fouling treatment.
    • Actual weight evaluation: An overly heavy sharpie can be difficult to maneuver.
    • Included equipment: Check for a complete rig (sails, ropes, cleats, winches).
    • Water in the hull: Tap the hull to detect signs of leaks.
    • Sea trial: Maneuverability, point of sail, wind responsiveness (sharpies are renowned for their responsiveness).
