Coyote is an Open 60 designed by Rodger Martin for Mike Plant, the American solo sailor, to contest his second Vendée Globe.
In 1992 Plant was delivering Coyote from New York to Les Sables-d'Olonne, the race start port, when he was lost at sea. The boat was found about 32 days later, turtled, missing the roughly 8,400 lb lead bulb that should have been on its keel. Mike Plant was never found.
The boat gave its name to the 2018 documentary 'COYOTE: The Mike Plant Story'.
