The Archambault Grand Surprise (left) has proved a widely popular and much more modern and higher performance follow-up to the company’s original astoundingly successful Surprise (overleaf). The light displacement Grand Surprise is also a hit among weekend cruisers. The company’s new Mini 650 (above) displays its rather traditional – and secure – deep cockpit


although sailing was always present, with kids discovering it and progressively mas- tering it, it was still essentially there in the background behind a day-job in the off- shore oil business. Come 2004, however, and Thomas had the opportunity to estab- lish his own business. Now was the time to become serious about his sailing boats.


Forum Marine started the boat business...


The first step was to import and distribute boats in Brazil. Thomas initially created Forum Marine to distribute the Tofinou designs from Latitude 48, the Class 2M from Naval Force 3, the Tangara day- sailer, designed by Patrick Balta, and other French-built boats from Delphia, Frauscher, as well as the Fusion 40 cata- marans which were mainly sold as kits for buyers to complete themselves. The distri- bution business steadily expanded to take in North America, as well as additional


brands such as the Cornish Crabber and the Mystery line of sailing boats, plus a handful of larger one-off designs from Philippe Briand and Marc Lombard. Meanwhile, on the other side of ‘the pond’ Forum Marine were now also importing boats from the USA, Quebec and Poland into the domestic French market. The business model was to offer a complete portfolio of sailing boats for different tastes and programmes, working with boatbuilders who were big enough to be serious, but small enough to avoid the need for a chain of local dealers. As part of the process of offering the best European boats in the US market, Archambault was originally contacted early in 2013. Even though very few Archambault boats had as yet ended up in the USA and Canada, the brand was becoming known and respected for providing competitive production racing designs. An A35 won races at the Rolex Big Boat Series in San Francisco in 2013 and in the same season a handful of A31s had started to collect silverware further inland on Lake Champlain. There was also a healthy demand for Archambault’s famous Surprise and Grand Surprise, the US market being very keen on the one- design model. Forum Services duly started offering the full Archambault range in the US, and in 2014 the A27, presented at the Annapolis Boat Show, was selected by Sail Magazine as their Yacht of the Year.
