The IMOCA 60 class yacht L'Occitane en Provence, FRA 2, was designed by Sam Manuard and launched on the 31st January 2020 after being assembled by Black Pepper Yachts[1] based in Nantes, France.

[3] The boat was the last to be completed for the 2020 Vendée Globe but the hull moulds were then used for Initiative Coeur 4 and OceansLab.

It is the first SCOW-design hull and had a different approach to the foil configuration than other designs, the main difference being the ability to retract the foils.

IMOCA 60 L’Occitane is the sistership to Oceans Lab and Initiatives-Cœur 4.
