This Erik Lerouge Paladin 180 or Haka 180 plan is a fast cruising sailboat combining performance, robustness, and elegance. Its sandwich hull made of glass/Kevlar/Airex, vacuum-formed over Hemlock stringers, offers a high level of finish while ensuring lightness and durability. Its rig, rebuilt in 2025 (rod shrouds), and its optimized sails make it a versatile boat, suitable for both family cruising and long explorations.
This unit has been extensively reliable through navigation on all the oceans of the planet.
