[1][3][4] The Coco is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass.
The hull has a plumb stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.
[1][3] For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 431 sq ft (40.0 m2) or an asymmetrical spinnaker of 646 sq ft (60.0 m2).
[3] The boat is supported by an active club, the Class Mini 650, that organizes racing events for Classe Mini boats with a length overall of 21.33 ft (6.50 m).
The major race run for this class of sailboats is the Mini Transat 6.50, a solo transatlantic yacht race, that typically starts in France and ends in Le Marin, Martinique in the Caribbean.
