2026 Beneteau Figaro 3
About This Yacht
The Beneteau Figaro 3 is a 35.75-foot foiling monohull developed through collaboration between Beneteau and the Van Peteghem Lauriot-Prévost design office. It represents the first production one-design monohull with foiling capability, drawing on proven offshore racing technology. The boat is classed in ISO/World Sailing design category A and combines a fiberglass hull with ballast-free construction and an advanced keel design.
The Figaro 3 builds on the engineering heritage of its predecessor with enhanced performance features. It carries a deeper, more slender keel, a setback mast configuration, and an expanded sail plan. The design prioritizes both reliability and upwind efficiency through its refined hull shape and foil system. Power comes from a single 21 hp Nanni diesel engine.
This is a purpose-built racing platform engineered for consistent performance across a wide range of conditions. The boat has undergone prototype testing, and production has begun.
