About the BRICK (HERBULOT)
The Brick is a classic 26.08 ft fractional sloop designed by Jean-Jacques Herbulot and built by Mallard et Archambault in France. Production was limited to the year 1964, with the total number of hulls built remaining unconfirmed in available records.
- Best for:

- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 3968.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.07, the Brick is not designed for extended bluewater passages but is capable of protected coastal cruising.
- Comparables:
