Yacht sold : LE PINGOUIN

LE PINGOUIN is a legendary IMOCA 60, designed for performance and boasting an impressive track record. Built in 1998 by the MAG shipyard in France, it has undergone several refits, notably in 2020 and 2023, optimizing its potential and keeping it at the forefront of competition. With its carbon Nomex composite hull and superstructure, it combines lightness and strength, essential attributes for offshore racing.

Onboard, the layout is designed for efficiency and minimalist comfort, featuring a central navigation station, a compact galley, and functional berths. A multi-compartment ballast system ensures optimal balance while sailing.
