Safran\u00a0II<\/i><\/b> then <\/span>Ma\u00eetre Coq IV <\/i><\/b>then Groupe Apicil.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Safran monohull was the first of the six IMOCAs designed by VPLP-Verdier for the 2016\u201317 Vend\u00e9e Globe, which she win in the next edition in 2021. Homogeneous, manageable and light, she was designed for single-handed sailing.<\/span><\/p>\n

This second boat in the Safran series was more powerful than her predecessor, her centre of gravity being further aft to reduce digging in, and her bow gaining in volume. <\/span>Safran\u00a0II<\/span><\/i> was the first IMOCA to be fitted with foils, those soon to be ubiquitous appendages which increase downwind and reaching speeds. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe stronger the wind, the more the appendages (keel and foils) bear the load, lightening the boat and increasing her speed,\u201d says Vincent Lauriot-Pr\u00e9vost.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a view to broadening their scope, the teams at Safran and Banque Populaire combined their resources to carry out certain architectural studies \u2013 and the boats were even built at the same yard. For example, the hydrodynamic studies involving the hull were shared between the projects, resulting in only one mould being built for the boats. <\/span><\/p>\n

Where the new Safran IMOCA differed from her sister project was in the participation of <\/span>Safran Engineering Services<\/b> who were involved in checking the structure, designing the instrumentation and providing technological assistance for the 3D weaving of the carbon-fibre rudder blades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After retiring from the 2016\u201317 Vend\u00e9e Globe, she was sold to Roland Jourdain and then Yannick Bestaven, the latter sailing her on the IMOCA circuit as <\/span>Ma\u00eetre CoQ<\/span><\/i> and winning the <\/span>2020\u201321 Vend\u00e9e Globe<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Damien Seguin will buy Ma\u00eetre Coq IV in 2021 to race with \u201c Groupe APICIL\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
