IMOCA 60 PRB
The IMOCA 60 Class yacht PRB, FRA 85 was designed by Finot-Cong and launched in the 15th July 1996 after being built Chantier Nautique Pinta based in La Rochelle, France.[1] The boat capsized during the BOC challenge and was lost although Isabelle Autissier was rescued by fellow competitor Italian G. Soldini.[2] The boat capsized with the keel and keel bulb attached and was unable to right itself despite having a canting keel. Primarily because of the large deck area creating a very wide stable form this led to the coachroof enlarging and moor camber on the deck to make the boats less stable upsidedown and the introduction of the righting test.
