The Chassiron RF, produced by the esteemed Richard & Frère (later Chantier Richard) shipyard in Marennes, France, is a definitive example of the "heavy cruiser" philosophy that dominated the European yachting scene in the late 1960s and 1970s. Designed by Michel Richard, the RF designation—representing the founders' initials—was applied to a series of hulls, most notably the 9-meter (approximately 30-foot) variant, which sought to blend the seaworthiness of traditional working craft with the emerging comforts of fiberglass pleasure boats. The Association des Propriétaires de Chassiron notes that these vessels were built with a surplus of material, resulting in hulls that are significantly thicker and more rigid than their modern equivalents.
