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.[1]

Design

[edit]

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.[2] 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.[3]
