Second in the Vendée Globe 2008/09

Renault Captur is a Finot-Conq design launched in July 2007 that Armel Le Cléac’h took to second place in the Vendée Globe 2008/09 in 89 days and 9 hours. Le Cléac’h was also in the driving seat for the yacht’s second place Route du Rhum finish in 2010.

The boat underwent a refit in July this year. Over the past few weeks the rigging and appendages have been inspected and work has also been done on the electronics and mast. For this preparation, the team has had an outstanding technical advisor: Bertrand de Broc, the last skipper to compete aboard this IMOCA 60.

Jörg Riechers: "It is the only Finot design which went light, the others which did not do so well had 8,8tonnes displacement and 38tm righting moment. This boat is 7,9tonnes and has got 30tm. So this boat is lighter and more down the route Safran went down in 2008".
