New Boats Table
in association with the Spinlock Special Projects Team Flashing it up
Well, why ever not… When designer Marc Lombard was asked to add a little more oomph and pizzazz to his elegant Code 1 40-footer there was really only one thing to do
Foils on a series cruiser-racer? The current Code 1 is a good-looking monohull racer-cruiser produced by the Black Pepper shipyard in France. Built in carbon but with plentiful use of lightweight teak finishes, the yacht is notable both for a contemporary appearance which blends traditional materials with modern styling and proven good performance on the racecourse with the benefit of a 3m draft and a lightship displacement of just 4,000kg. For racing and passage making the Code 1 also features two modest- sized water ballast tanks set at maximum beam. Good cruising ability is not compromised, though, by the deep racing
draft, with the use of a long pivoting centreboard that allows sensible access to shallow waters with a reduced draft of just 1.15m when the board is up; the Code 1 remains very stable in this configuration for comfortable motoring (pulling it up carefully off the wind when racing only for fun does tend to confuse rivals…). However, by the end of the last Vendée Globe cycle Code 1 designer
Marc Lombard had decided that all the pointers were now in place for a relatively simple but potentially powerful performance upgrade to his four-year-old creation. At the same time the Black Pepper yard was becoming increasingly keen to freshen up the performance of a well-admired existing model. The first foiled Code 1 is now under construction at the yard and
will be launched in late April followed by at least two to three weeks of testing to fully understand the foils and identify the best way

Short list! Knierim Yachtbau
A three-metre draft on a 40-footer like this is not unimpressive; in fact, were it not being delivered via a lifting centreboard it would probably be labelled ‘a bit silly’. Relaunched with foils, the updated Code 1 from little-known French shipyard Black Pepper is going to see plenty of attention racing in the Med this summer
to employ them for later inclusion in the revised customer manual. The public debut – and first competitive appearance – of the new
boat will be at the Giraglia Rolex Cup which starts in June in St Tropez. With at least one standard Code 1 already entered in this year’s event the result should be interesting… especially to Marc Lombard. François Séguin

IRC performer with a super-stylish interior – if we were looking for an IRC pot-hunter… The new Yes! is going to be a very special example of today’s must-have IRC design
March 2018 onwards Two new Fast40s, the latest Rán and boat no3 in the Girls on Film line June 2017 onwards June 2017 onwards Sep 2017 onwards Still, still waiting! March/April 2018 March/April 2018 March/April 2018 August 2018 June 2018 June 2018 Jan 2019 2019
2017 onwards
Based on Finot-Conq’s Imoca 60 work, very purposeful carbon/Nomex 53-footer heavily race-influenced but designed for long-range cruising with a double-handed crew. The foils are all retractable to maximise shoal access
Young Swiss skipper Alan Roura’s trusty 2006 Imoca is gaining foils from Mick Kermarec Whizzy IRC-targeted racer-cruiser. Looks like a mini-Cannonball Very light (17-tonne) all-carbon double una-rig cruiser-racer! The design R&D is almost finished for the new Bella Mente Contemporary performance cruiser, possible series production? There are also a 96 and a 70 on the drawing board. MSY is on a roll Smaller Wally is aggressively styled and reflects the latest Maxi72s
She’s back in the shed to be speeded up some more… expect substantial changes Lots of wrapping paper needed – a first one-off custom Superyacht from Swan The biggest yet from Persico. Very light at 171 tonnes. Hybrid power for silent running
One of no fewer than seven new TP52s from the Botín studio, the latest Quantum programme will run alongside the New York Yacht Club America’s Cup challenge – with plenty of crossover in crew and technical development
Fifth-generation Max-RM Class40 from a new yard. Second boat well underway The Carkeek Fast40+ Mk3 followed the family tradition by winning the 2017 championship Development of the A13 Teasing Machine 2. Boat no1 quickly impressed Quite aggressive design approach. A quietly resurgent fleet – now with OD foils
Alegre/Longitud Cero; Azzurra/King Marine; Luna Rossa/Persico; Onda/King; Phoenix/Persico Quantum/Composite Builders/Persico; Sled/Core Composites Platoon/Premier Yachts; Provezza/Persico
Expect this new IRC56 to be giving the latest Teasing Machine some competition A possible run of yet another lightweight and fast luxury cat. Lift foils and daggerboards Jérémie Beyou gets a new sponsor and (finally) his first brand new Imoca 60
This will be interesting, a new Imoca 60 for Sébastien Simon to be managed by Vincent Riou Now in the Hugo Boss new boat pipeline but who will get to race its quick predecessor?
