VULNERABLE RUYANT

Launched this Thursday 16 March, Thomas Ruyant’s For People (CDK-I(F)17-2023), designed by Antoine Koch and Finot-Conq, is unquestionably one of the most eagerly awaited arrivals on the circuit. The monohull is geared around the Vendée Globe, which the sailor from northern France fully intends to add to his list of accolades, having already won races as prestigious as the Transat Jacques Vabre and the Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe. A 60-footer featuring a series of distinct architectural choices, which notably include a reinforced hull bottom to tackle the Southern Ocean, CDK Group was entrusted with the creation of the platform and the construction of her rudders and foils.
