Finot's Open 6.50 takes sportboat design to the extreme. With technology and materials more in line with aeronautics and spacecraft than normal boatbuilding, the 6.50 has pulled out all the stops.

The hull is built using prepeg carbon fiber and a process called "autostruct" which allows the construction of the shell, stringers and reinforcement to be all in one piece. It is then cured using high temperatures and pressures in an autoclave, a technique derived from the aircraft industry, resulting in a stronger and radically lighter boat.

Forty-three percent of the boat's weight is ballast. The low center of gravity gives this sleek sportboat the stability to carry a plenty of sail area. With one of the highest sail area / displacement ratios in its class, this boat exudes horsepower. It's no surprise the 6.50 is the sportboat of choice for some of the most famous and accomplished sailors in the world.
