2021 Beneteau Figaro 3 for sale in Sydney NSW

2021 launch Beneteau Figaro 3 Intiy, hull number 63 of this popular one-design class. Handed over new to her Australian owner in May 2021.

The Figaro BENETEAU 3 is the first production foiling one-design monohull ever to be designed. A distillation of technology and innovation, it results from a collaboration between group BENETEAU's best experts and the VPLP design office, the architects of the two last boats to win the Vendée Globe.

Design and Performance

The specifications define the FB3 monohull as being as reliable as its predecessor, the FB2. It is equipped with foils, a better performing ballast-free hull, a more slender and deeper keel, a setback mast and a more extensive and larger sail plan.

The foils have an inward-facing profile, different from Imoca 60 foils. They are versatile foils that create drift reduction and improve the boat's righting moment, without increasing the movement, which improves the boat's performance. The deep keel with a straight blade creates minimum drag. Supplementary drift reduction is provided by the foils.

The hull is made of foam sandwich, fibreglass and polyester infused resin, and is ballast-free. The mast is set back, providing balance under sail. This allows the use of high performance sails and the addition of a bowsprit. Solo sailors will sail with a square-top mainsail, a genoa and a jib, but also a masthead spinnaker to gain speed in a light breeze and a small gennaker.

Equipment and Condition

Intiy is fully equipped with a comprehensive North Sails package in line with the global one-design class rules, the full NKE offshore instrument package including autopilot, wind, speed, depth, computer with all tuning guides, Australian Category 3 safety gear and everything else needed for ocean racing.

The owner has purchased another Figaro 3 and intends to race the one-design class in Europe, providing an excellent opportunity for a short-handed racing enthusiast to step on and have fast fun.

Available to inspect at the RPAYC in Newport, Sydney.
