The first multihull from Black Pepper Yachts

Bullit is the hull #1 of the Code C.69, a 21 m fast cruising catamaran launched in 2025. First multihull from the Black Pepper Yachts shipyard (Nantes), previously known for the Code monohull series and its IMOCA 60s.

Architecture

Design by François Pérus and Romain Scolari (Yacht Design Collective): long, fine hulls inspired by the latest generation of offshore racing catamarans, a racer-cruiser program designed for short-handed sailing.

Construction

Composite sandwich platform in infused carbon-epoxy built at Multiplast (Vannes, Carboman Group), then towed to Nantes for outfitting and final assembly at Black Pepper. Hull #2, under construction, is announced with a revised roof, offset helming stations, and a hybrid propulsion system.
