Fortil is part of the Farr plan series designed for the Vendée Globe 2008-2009.

But its performance shows well the intrinsic qualities of the boat. When Tanguy de Lamotte took over the monohull for the Vendée Globe 2016, the boat was revamped and the first eight meters were modified in order to give more volume to the front of the boat and gain power. Today, the monohull is certainly one of the sharpest of its generation. It won’t be enough to reach the highest ranking, but there is room for it among the fleet of classic non-foilers… in other words, a race within a race.
