Figaro 3, the first production monohull with foils sails!

Beautiful orange foils on a black hull. For the moment, these are the only information we have following the launch of Figaro 3. The first images in light breeze for this future one-design Figaro Class boat.

After a launch in Saint-Gilles Croix de Vie on 27th July 2017, the Figaro 3, which is due to replace the Figaro 2 one-design for the 2019 season, has been sailing for the first time. Apart from some very nice pictures (signed Jean-Baptiste d'Enquin) which show the boat under sail and the foils in action, we can't know more about the performance...

Spectacular picture point with the hull sustentation! The first tests of this VPLP plan were obviously carried out in light weather. We are waiting for the testers' feedback to know more about the behaviour of this one-design of the future.
