A proven offshore performer
Platypus is the boat that “impressed everyone by holding her own against the Sun Fast 3600s and Alex Ozon’s Bepox” (Transquadra website). She won the first leg of the 2024–25 Transquadra and finished second overall.
Transquadra 2024–25: winner of the first leg; 2nd overall.
Cap Martinique 2026: 5th overall and second conventional (“pointu”) monohull.
RORC results: 1st in IRC 3 in the Cervantes Trophy, 2nd in the Morgan Cup and 3rd in the Myth of Malham, among other strong finishes.
Fast sails and a fair, well-prepared hull deliver pace, while the interior and deck layout have been optimised for low weight and efficient short-handed racing. With an optimised IRC rating and an extensive equipment inventory, she is ready to race offshore or cross the Atlantic.
Tuning guide, polars and full history supplied. A familiarisation weekend or race can be arranged to help the new owner get to grips with the boat.

History
Before 2021, the yacht was used only for inshore racing in the Mediterranean by her first owner. The second owner intended to enter the Transquadra, but the project was cancelled following Covid, so the yacht saw relatively little use during that period.
Since September 2021, the current owner has carried out extensive winter refits to achieve her present level of preparation and reliability. She has completed the full RORC programme with only one incident: a torn mainsail during the 2023 Fastnet. The mainsail has since been replaced with a new and considerably stronger sail. She completed both transatlantic races without any major issues.
Racing in Normandy and with the RORC has enabled the boat and her settings to be thoroughly refined. Platypus is now an exceptionally quick and dependable offshore race yacht, as demonstrated by her recent results.
