For People is an IMOCA 60 monohull sailing yacht, designed by Antoine Koch in cooperation with Finot-Conq, constructed by CDK Technologies in France, and launched on 16 March 2023. It is designed for the Vendée Globe 2024, a non-stop round-the-world solo race. It is skippered by the French offshore sailor Thomas Ruyant.[1]
In 2025 it was sold to be skippered by Ambrogio Beccaria.[2]
Design
It is a sister ship to Paprec Arkéa and, similarly to that yacht, features a fully enclosed cockpit with a shock absorbing seat. The hull is optimized for the downwind conditions of the southern ocean, but has a slim design.[3]
