Pure Design
The Figaro 3’s design was spearheaded by a partnership between the Van Peteghem Lauriot-Prévost (VPLP) office and Beneteau’s most experienced staff. As an entry-level racing yacht, design challenges were abundant.
How to make a reliable, affordable vessel that lives up to the Figaro name?
Even without knowledge of the Figaro legacy, it’s quite evident what the Figaro 3 is designed for. From the barebones berth through to the composite foiling, there is only one thing to do: sail, and sail fast.
Regardless of this, the Figaro 3 scored points for its pure functionality in the face of serious sailing. The layout and set-up are surprisingly easy to use – perfect for aspiring racers in the entry-level market.
