The approach stems from the analysis of actual use of sailboats in Britanny which is characterised by :
1. Family ballads by the day or the weekend
2. Local regattas
3. Sometimes cruises of a week or two
To ensure the family vocation, idbmarine had identified five basic elements :
• A cockpit with exceptional dimensions which has been designed to separate the functions of pleasure sailing and maneuvers in the back, idleness and discovery of the marine environment in a safe at the centre: Malango can easily receive 6 people on board.
• A tender instantly available: In addition to the ease of implementation at anchor (the outboard motor of the tender can be stored in it before it was "swallowed" inside the tunnel), it's acts as a major security asset that only Malango propose in this category.
• A sailboat with a reassuring stability, extremely easy to manoeuvre with his self tacking jib (a real pleasure to use), its asymmetrical spinnaker and all maneuvers around the helmsman.
• A luminous and comfortable interior, with a generous and an independent toilet.
• An powerful enough in-board engine to overcome periods of calm and manoeuvre easily at the port.
The "local regatta" aspect is not neglected, for navigation training on a fun sailboat. For that, idbmarine gave Malango three strengths:
• A stable and powerfull hull, designed for offshore racing, able to provide a high level of performance in a very secure boat.
• An effective standing rigging to exploit effectively Malango in all sailing conditions
• A strong and efficient spar with twin aft swept spreaders.
For cruising, idbmarine returned to the simple rules that allow comfortables cruises without turning the boat in a mobil-home :
• A luminous and wide interior: the big side windows, opening deck hatch in the cockpit and on the front of the roof highlight the volume of Malango.
• A functional galley, ergonomic and complete (Freshwater under pressure, cooler,…).
• An isolated head compartiment : GRP washbassin, marine toilet, locker for bathroom accessories, hooks and mirror,
• 4 berths for the Malango 8.70
• 6 berths (double berth in the large aft port cabin) for the Malango 9.99
• A chart table with removable faceplate for navigation electronics.
This synthesis is now offered through Malango 8.70 and 999 that combine in addition to all the points mentioned, a dynamic and original aesthetics.
