The Beneteau Figaro 3, designed by VPLP Design and built by Beneteau from 2018, is a 10.9-meter (35.7-foot) fractional sloop with a fin keel, bulb, and dual rudders, specifically engineered as a one-design foiling racer. Its defining feature is a pair of independent, retractable carbon/epoxy foils, which increase stability and reduce the need for water ballast, improving upwind performance and bow control.6:49 The boat displaces 3175 kg and has a draft of 2.5 meters. Aboard Patrick Laine, a 500-nautical-mile delivery from Dubrovnik to Valletta demonstrated the boat's high-speed offshore racing capabilities, with sustained speeds of 10 to 15 knots in 18 to 25 knots of wind.0:07 The Figaro 3 uses a 3D jib-trimming system with anti-friction rings for precise sail-shape adjustments.9:31 Crews manually shift heavy gear and sails to windward during tacks and jibes to act as ballast, as the boat lacks creature comforts and relies on engine-driven alternators for power.23:12 Mastering fine-tuned sail settings and anticipating conditions are crucial for amateur sailors to prevent broaching.30:19
