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.
Production
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.
Design
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 2,535 lb (1,150 kg) and carries 992 lb (450 kg) of ballast.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 431 sq ft (40.0 m) or an asymmetrical spinnaker of 646 sq ft (60.0 m). It has a hull speed of 6.04 kn (11.19 km/h).
Operational history
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 21.33 ft (6.50 m). 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.
