The IMOCA 60 Class yacht L'Occitane en Provence, FRA 2 was designed by and launched on the 31st January 2020 after being assembled by Black Pepper Yachts^[1] based in Nantes, France.^[2] With the hull moulding done by Pauger Composites in Hungary.^[3]

This is the designer and builders first IMOCA 60 and it incorporates a lot of thinking of the designer Mini 6.5 and Class 40 yachts. It is the first SCOW design hull and had a different approach to the foil configuration than all the other designs. The main difference being the ability to retract the foils.
