Contrary to Imoca 60 foils, the Figaro BENETEAU 3 foils have an inward-facing profile. The way they operate is different. They are versatile foils that create drift reduction and improve the boat’s righting moment, without increasing the movement, which improves the boat’s performance.
The Figaro BENETEAU 3 is the first production foiling one-design monohull ever created. It is a distillation of technology and innovation, the result of a collaboration between some of BENETEAU’s best experts and the Van Peteghem Lauriot-Prévost (VPLP) office, the architects of the last two boats to win the Vendée Globe.
The prototype has been tested and the production of the boat has been launched. It will enter the ISO/World Sailing design category A.
