Turnkey Beneteau Figaro 2 maintained to the highest offshore racing standards by a professional team, and now being prepared to race across the Atlantic in April 2021
ALI will be available and ready to race with its next owner in May 2021
Formerly GEDIMAT, she won the 2016 AG2R race, skipped by Thierry Chabagny and Erwan Tabarly
She is fully compliant to both 2021 ISAF Offshore Category 1 & Figaro 2 International Class.
A S4 kite and a Code 0 have been added to bridge some of the Figaro Class gaps in terms of sail range.
The Figaro 2 is designed for solo and double handed races. She is easy to handle, very forgiving (double rudder) and fun!
