Bagages Superior is a 60-foot monohull designed by Finot-Conq and built by CDK Technologies, launched in 1992. Sailed by Alain Gautier, she won the 1992-1993 Vendée Globe in just over 110 days, then finished second in the 1993 Transat Jacques-Vabre and fourth in the 1994 Route du Rhum.
In January 1996 she was sold and renamed Café Legal-Legout for Éric Dumont, who took fourth place in the 1996-1997 Vendée Globe. She then raced the 1998 Route du Rhum as Le Havre 2000 and retired.
In 1999 major work was carried out (a deeper, heavier canting keel) to meet stability requirements. Renamed Euroka - Un Univers de Services (UUDS), she retired from the 2000-2001 Vendée Globe with rudder damage and was later sailed by Miranda Merron, among others.
Put up for sale in 2004, she was bought in August 2010 by Zbigniew Gutkowski and became Operon Racing. She finished second in the 2010-2011 Velux 5 Oceans and was seen in Gdansk, Poland, in 2019.
