Figaro Beneteau 3 - First production foiling one-design monohull
2017-11-16
Auto tradurre:
Beneteau is presenting the 3:rd generation of Figaro Beneteau.
This is the first production foiling one-design monohull ever designed, the foils add both stability and a lifting effect.
The boats will start to be delivered to their owners at the end of 2018.
Unlike other foiling systems, such as Imoca 60 uses, they are located higher on the hull and bend down to the surface of the water, instead of sitting lower and bending upwards.
Beneteau believes that this reduces the resistance, which certainly can be true.
