They were one of earliest builders of fiberglass sailing yachts in France. The company was established in Meyzieu (close to Lyon). In 1961 they introduced a line of trailerable sailboats which were a big success. In 1981, Maurice Edel and Sylvestre Langevin began work on production multihulls.

The Edel 540 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop , a raked stem , a vertical transom , a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel .

The equation incorporates SA/Disp (100% fore triangle) and Disp/length ratios to create a guide to probable boat performance vs. other boats of comparable size. For boats of the same length, generally the higher the S#, the lower the PHRF.

Called the EDEL 545 in France. Edel's were manfactured in Canada and France between '78 and '82 by the French parent firm, and its Canadian subsidiary. Sometime later, the Canadian molds were bought by Stanley Hatch Industries which built a few more before closing in the late '80's.

Designed to determine if a boat has blue water capability. The CSF compares beam with displacement since excess beam contributes to capsize and heavy displacement reduces capsize vulnerability. The boat is better suited for ocean passages (vs coastal cruising) if the result of the calculation is 2.0 or less. The lower the better.
