The IMOCA 60 Class yacht L'Occitane en Provence, FRA 2, was designed by Sam Manuard and launched on the 31st January 2020 after being assembled by Black Pepper Yachts[1] based in Nantes, France.[2] Pauger Composites in Hungary did the hull moulding.[3]

The boat was the last to be completed for the 2020 Vendée Globe but the hull moulds were then used for Initiative Coeur 4 and OceansLab.

Design

This is the first IMOCA 60 of the designer and the builders and incorporates a lot of thinking of the designer on Mini 6.5 and Class 40 yachts. It is the first SCOW-design hull and had a different approach to the foil configuration than other designs, the main difference being the ability to retract the foils.

IMOCA 60 L’Occitane is the sistership to Oceans Lab and Initiatives-Cœur 4.[4]
