Is designed to be the permanent habitation for a couple who wants to navigate in family (with 1 or 2 children). She can carry enough to have a high range and all the comfort.

The navigation program is for all areas (except wintering on the ice pack with the wing keel option). So the objective is to give the best compromise between security, comfort, range and performance.

Particular points :

- Delightful
- Robustness
- 2 watertight bulkhead
- Good habitability
- Shower and toilet separated
- High storage capacity and a large locker in the forepeak
- Important carrying capacity (2700kg)
- The fineness of the hull forms let provides good performance (10kn easily surpassed)

The special feature of the "Poussière d’étoiles 39 F" is the off centre companion way. That liberates the traditional companion way room, to become a large coat rack and shoes storage, and the crew stays safe from prying eyes.

Everywhere the headroom is preserved between 2.10m and 1.85m. Light and ventilation come in through the portholes, hatches, and watertight vents.

The lateral saloon makes movement easier and gives a large fixed table, the bunks include a watch berth.

The very functional large galley, which has a large work top including a bar/service hatch, is designed in "C" form to optimise the room.

The bath room contains a shower (0.85m x 0.80m), with a basin and storage. The toilet compartment, with a small basin and a locker (for oilskins, long boots), is beside the companion way, to starboard.

The children's area (forward cabin) is equiped with two bunk beds, and two folding tables. The main space is meant for the playroom, with a lot of lockers and storage.

The stern port side cabin is equiped with a double berth and its locker. The large chart table (around 1.20m x 0.80m) is situated to starboard forward of the companion way.

The cockpit’s lockers, are to store sails, ropes, fenders, and for the gas cylinders.
