IMOCA 60 Charal 2

Charal 2 is an IMOCA 60 monohull sailing yacht, designed by Sam Manuard and constructed by CDK Technologies in France, launched on 11th July 2022. It has been designed for the Vendée Globe 2024, a non-stop, round-the-world solo race. Its skipper is the French Jérémie Beyou.

Design Charal 2 features a very robust design to accommodate the aggressive sailing style its skipper Beyou is known for. Like Sam Manuard's previous design L'Occitane en Provence, it features a SCOW bow, but at the same time is very narrow. Unique is the layout of the two rudders in an inverted V. This allows to get the stern out of the water during foiling, imitating the effect of a t-rudder. For additional performance, the gap between mast boom and cockpit has been closed.
