The IMOCA 60 class yacht Corum L'Epargne, FRA 9 was designed by Juan Kouyoumdjian [1] and launched on 5 May 2020 [2] after being built CDK Technologies based in Lorient, France. [3] [2]

Following the second dismasting of his boat during the Defi Azimut in October 2023, the first one being in the 2020-2021 Vendée Globe, Nicolas Troussel (FRA) lost the support of his sponsor Corum and with that the boat Corum l'Epargne. [4]
