He says these owners are invariably keen and experienced racing sailors who have reached a stage in life when they can spend more time on the water and are looking for a larger, dual-purpose yacht to combine periods of cruising with iconic regattas and offshore races such as the Rolex Giraglia Cup, Les Voiles de Saint- Tropez, Copa del Rey, plus the Rolex Fastnet and Middle Sea races.
CONCEPT 9/10
This boat is the result of a competition in which Beneteau invited designers to produce a concept for an easy to sail, powerful and fast cruising yacht with both inshore an offshore racing potential. Beneteau expects most owners to spend around 80 per cent of their time cruising and the remaining 20 per cent racing, as the boat can also provide high comfort levels, with a generator, air-conditioning options and so on.
