“This boat will shortly be towed to Nantes for final assembly,” explained Yann Penformis, the shipyard boss. While the Code C.69 hulls are inspired by the latest generation of large ocean-going multihulls, the silhouette and many details, like the famous Code monohull range, are the result of a clever combination of high-tech and vintage. This approach, initiated by Michel Douville de Franssu, founder and CEO of Black Pepper Yachts, is almost unique in the world of multihulls. And the program for this catamaran? Blue water cruising and offshore racing.
