To describe his approach, the architect begins by noting that\u00a0<strong>the IRC<\/strong><em><strong>\u00a0&#8220;is a rating rule that forbids nothing<\/strong>; it ultimately leaves more freedom than certain box rules,\u00a0with a few blind spots\u2014including hull stability, which is not measured.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>From this perspective,\u00a0<strong><em>Palanad 4<\/em>\u00a0is the exact opposite of a TP52<\/strong>, many of which continue to enjoy successful IRC careers after a first life in Grand Prix racing (Audi Med Cup then 52 Super Series). The hull offset when heeled and the canting ballast allow the Manuard design to be\u00a0<strong>both more powerful and lighter<\/strong>, thanks to her\u00a0lower ballast mass and reduced crew (7 during the transat), for a rating very close to a TP52 (TCC 1.426, versus a range of 1.360 to 1.400 for TPs). Finally,\u00a0<strong>the cant of the keel (the axis is not horizontal) generates lift<\/strong>, making this boat very aerial when downwind in heavy seas.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Another major driver of performance in IRC is the waterline length,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0continues Sam Manuard.\u00a0<em>&#8220;If you reach planning speed faster than larger boats, you can come out on top.&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0<strong>The low-slung nose of\u00a0<em>Palanad 4<\/em>\u00a0reduces the static waterline by nearly 3 meters<\/strong>\u00a0and visibly exploits a rating gap\u2014even though the IRC rule already modified its measurement of forward overhangs in 2026. Asked about this,\u00a0<strong>Ludovic Abollivier<\/strong>, director of the IRC calculation center for the Yacht Club de France (which holds the rule alongside the RORC), confirms:\u00a0<em>&#8220;<strong>The inclusion of scow hulls began on January 1, 2026<\/strong>, but the IRC acts in small steps. We don&#8217;t bring out the heavy artillery in the first year, and it is very likely that additional taxation will be adopted in 2027.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Will the Concept Set a Trend?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Needless to say,\u00a0<em>Palanad 4<\/em>&#8216;s future performances will be closely watched, starting with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/caribbean600.rorc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RORC Caribbean 600<\/a>, which sets off on Monday, February 23rd.\u00a0<strong>Olivier Magr\u00e9 is taking on a crew built for victory<\/strong>, including Spaniard Pablo Santurde and Briton Will Harris, even if the competition promises to be tougher than in the transat, with IRC benchmarks like\u00a0<em>R\u00e1n<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0<em>Daguet 5<\/em>.\u00a0<em>&#8220;There&#8217;s a strong field, and they&#8217;ve been warned,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0smiles the owner, for whom this 600-mile race\u2014a giant slalom through the Caribbean islands\u2014is\u00a0<em>&#8220;<strong>the true test for the boat.<\/strong>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On board during the Transatlantic Race (though he won&#8217;t be for the Caribbean 600), Swiss sailor\u00a0<strong>Simon Koster<\/strong>, who oversaw the entire build and managed the electrical installation, seems confident:\u00a0<em>&#8220;It will be more competitive, but it&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>a great course for the boat because there is very little VMG sailing<\/strong>. It&#8217;s at intermediate angles that\u00a0<\/em>Palanad<em>\u00a0makes the difference.

Olivier Magr\u00e9, who invested\u00a0<strong>2 million euros in this boat\u2014carbon-built down to the shrouds<\/strong>\u2014and who showed her off in Antigua, wants to believe so:\u00a0<em>&#8220;<strong>People are surprised by her simplicity, her seaworthiness, and how watertight she is<\/strong>\u00a0compared to other models.
