"Des maquettes de voiliers pas comme les autres."
Hi!
My name is François Couture and I am a scale model builder.
More specifically, I am specialized in sailing boat models.
I am also the President of Les Régates Celloises,
a scale model builders association.
| This
site intends to show pictures of my latest works as well as to provide with some technical insights. |
 |
Come and see some of my latest boat models.
 |
 |
|
Endeavour
A 1/14 scale model of the famous 1934 J Class challenger. The model is made out of cardboard and resins, and yet it sails very well! To my knowledge, it is a unique performance in the world of scale model building. |
Antarctica A 1/14 scale model of the polar boat originally built for Docteur Jean-Louis Etienne's expeditions. Drawings available. |
|
|
| Sharmari
My own design. A 1/10 scale sailing ship model with beautiful shapes, made out of cardboard. Design and material both unique in the world! Drawings available. |
Turkish Caïk Ivory, gold powder, precious woods… a copy of a 19th century popular Turkish boat scale model. Drawings available. |
 |
 |
| Team
New Zealand Scale model of the 1995 America's Cup winner. Drawings available. |
Sixième
Sens Scale model of the semi-finalist America's Cup 2000 French challenger. |
