Fast cruiser custom 70-foot sailboat by Finot-Conq, delivered by JFA in 2018
Basyc is a 22.20 m LOA offshore cruising sailboat designed by Finot-Conq and built as a single unit by JFA Yachts in Concarneau. Hull number 27C, delivered early 2018. The model is designated FC²70 (Finot Conq x Fast Cruiser, 70 feet), a fast cruiser variant of the FC56 line.
Architecture and construction
Aluminum hull, deck and coachroof in fiberglass/epoxy infusion, bonded-bolted assembly — a mixed method that reduces weight compared to an all-aluminum build at this size. Carbon rigging, composite swing keel with lead ballast (draft 2.05 m / 4.40 m), twin rudders, two thrusters (bow and stern) for single-shaft harbor maneuvering. Stern garage for 3.40 m tender. Interior layout designed by Pierre Forgia (zebrano veneer on white backgrounds), full-width owner’s cabin forward, two guest cabins aft, crew cabin.
