The IMOCA 60 Class yacht L'Occitane en Provence, FRA 2, was designed by Sam Manuard and launched on the 31st January 2020 after being assembled by Black Pepper Yachts[1] based in Nantes, France.[2] Pauger Composites in Hungary did the hull moulding.[3]
The boat was the last to be completed for the 2020 Vendée Globe but the hull moulds were then used for Initiative Coeur 4 and OceansLab.
