When Wrighton Yachts launched the BiLoup 102 in 1990, the French shipyard was already wellentrenched in its devotion to the "biquille," or twinkeel, design philosophy. Championed by designer and builder Richard Wrighton, the BiLoup 102 was engineered as an evolutionary step forward from the older BiLoup 10. It brought a more modern aesthetic, an extended sugarscoop transom, and a vastly improved deck layout to the yard's midrange portfolio. Produced from 1990 until 2003, this 34foot cruiser was purposebuilt for the rugged, tidal waters of the French Atlantic, Brittany, and the English Channel. It was designed specifically for families and shorthanded cruisers who sought to untether themselves from deepwater marinas and embrace the freedom of drying out upright in shallow estuaries and tidal harbors—a mission it accomplishes with remarkable ease, stacking up favorably against English counterparts like Westerly and Southerly of the same era.
