THE BOAT

After 15 years of good and loyal service, the Figaro BENETEAU 2 gives way to the Figaro BENETEAU 3 on the Figaro Beneteau circuit. The new generation sailboat made its first sails in the French Elite Offshore Racing Championship in spring 2019, during the Sardinha Cup.

A real small revolution in the world of ocean racing, the Figaro BENETEAU 3 is the first production foiling one-design monohull in the world. A large-scale project, the Figaro BENETEAU 3 is the result of a strong collaboration between the BENETEAU Group and the Classe Figaro Beneteau, OC Sport Pen Duick (the organizer of the Solitaire du Figaro) and the Le Figaro group. And it was under the pen of the Van Peteghem – Lauriot-Prévost architectural firm, which won the last two Vendée Globes, that the latest one-design Figaro Beneteau Class took shape.
