S/V PHOENIX (USA 51515)
Builder
PHOENIX was built in La Rochelle, France at the Chantier Nautique Marc Pinta yard in 1990. More
recent boats to come out of the yard include PRB, an Open 60 that competed in the most recent
Around Alone race. In addition to monohulls, Chantier also builds a full line of catamarans. Typical
of boats from France, they are built of an inner and outer skin with some type of core, either
foam or balsa. Many of Chantier's boats use carbon and Kevlar.
