Design edit
Charal 2 features a very robust design to accommodate the aggressive sailing style its skipper Beyou is known for. Like Sam Manuards previous design L'Occitane en Provence it features a SCOW bow, but in the same time is very narrow.[2] Unique is the layout of the two rudders in an inverted V, this allows to get the stern out of the water during foiling, imitating the effect of a t-rudder. For additional performance the gap between mast boom and cockpit has been closed.[3]
