The Beneteau Figaro 2 or Beneteau Figaro II, officially designated as the Figaro Beneteau II, is a French sailboat that was designed by Marc Lombard as a one design, single-handed, off-shore racer for the Solitaire du Figaro race and first built in 2003. The boat and the race are named for the race's sponsor, the French newspaper Le Figaro.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
The boat replaced the Beneteau Figaro in the Solitaire du Figaro and was in turn replaced by the Beneteau Figaro 3 in 2016.[1][2][3][4][10][11][12][13][14][15]
