The Archambault Coco is a French sailboat that was designed by Harlé - Mortain as a Classe Mini racer for racing in the Mini Transat 6.50. It was first built in 1985.[1] [2] [3]
The design was built by Archambault Boats of Dangé-Saint-Romain, France, with 110 boats completed between 1985 and 2002, but it is now out of production. Archambault, which had been founded in 1967, went out of business in 2015.[1] [3] [4]
The Coco is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass. It has a fractional sloop rig. The hull has a plumb stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 25350NaN0 and carries 9920NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 431square feet or an asymmetrical spinnaker of 646square feet. It has a hull speed of 6.04kn.[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 21.33feet. 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.[5]
