The IMOCA 60 class yacht Credit Agricole IV was designed and built by Marc Lombard. The boat's original skipper formed a company "Jeantot Marine" which built the boat. It was launched in January 1989. The boat was lost while racing unofficially in the 1996-1997 Vendée Globe with Italian skipper Raphael Dinelli dramatically rescued by fellow competitor Pete Goss.
