The Vent d'Ouest is a one-design sport keelboat designed in 1972 by naval architect André Cornu. This 5.80 m Bermudan-rigged monohull is sailed by two crew, one of them on the trapeze.
Its construction has been handled by many yards over the decades: Gouteron from 1972 to 1976, Brémaud in 1977-1978, then Aubin, the Ateliers et Chantiers de la Manche, Fountaine-Pajot (ten boats), Gallois (37 boats between 1981 and 1992), La Griffe Marine (18 boats from 1992 to 1995), Boatique Diffusion, Impact Composites and, since 2010, Atelier Composite de la Baie.
The class is supported by the Union des pratiquants du Vent d'Ouest.
