Vintage Day Sailer

A worthy successor to the iconic Code 0 that made Black Pepper Yachts famous, this elegant “Dayboat”, with her neo-classical silhouette, adopts the aesthetic codes of her predecessor with a new bias: she had to be different; she had to dare a little renewal, without of course transgressing the family spirit… This time, the discerning eye will notice the slight sheer and the beginning of an inverted bow. Change without change! A real challenge…

Launched in 2019 in her classic version, she continues to evolve, as is often the case with our Codes. Since 2023, she has also been available in a “Sundeck” version.

This neoclassical-inspired day boat, built in carbon and designed for cruising and racing, not to mention her perfect seakeeping in strong winds and her habitability, reveals tremendous performance potential, thanks to her powerful rig, her very strict weight specifications, her ballast ratio, her draught and her equipment.

She had to be elegant, just as elegant as the Code 0, but go faster, and have more space inside to offer the possibility of living aboard and going on voyages…

In 2019, architect Marc Lombard was entrusted with the design of this new boat, with the mission of respecting the spirit of her predecessor, and in particular the silhouette of its famous doghouse roof and aft vault, replicas of classic sailing yachts. Her overall look, retains the key Codes of the brand and gives her that sober, racy elegance of the historic J class yachts .

The Code 0.1 is available in 3 versions:

• Classic: closed cockpit
• Sun-Deck: open cockpit
• Spirit: Marconi mainsail and short keel

Each of these versions can be supplied as standard “Sea” or “Lake” with a high-performance rig.

• Fixed or lifting keel
• Electric or diesel engine
• Modular, customizable interior fittings and equipment
• Electronics, sails and equipment are available à la carte.
• On board, everything is designed to be simple, efficient, functional and easy to maintain. A boat must perform well, be easy to maintain and look stylish…

Sailing aboard a Code 0.1 is disconcertingly simple; all maneuvers are designed to be easy with everything within reach: self-tacking jib, cockpit maneuvers, will delight the captain and his crew as well as the solo sailor. The lightness of the boat is exhilarating! Acceleration is immediate in the slightest breeze, and the hull slices through the water with ease.

Versions with lifting keels provide access to all shallow harbors. Dual rudders ensure optimum steering, and the carbon rig allows infinite trimming. Her wide beam provides both power and stiffness, essential for performance and comfort. Her headroom and volume provide the comfort of a true cruiser, essential for family trips.

360° view inside and outside code 0.1 classic, ship building.

Code 0.1 is built from dry carbon fibre and epoxy resin. Each part is made using the infusion process, which keeps the weight down by optimally controlling the quantities of resin used. This process consists of placing parts draped in dry carbon fabric under vacuum in a mould closed by a tarpaulin, which are then impregnated under vacuum by injection of the required quantity of resin, which is drawn in by the vacuum created in the mould.

The hull and deck are built in separate moulds and then assembled manually by gluing and laminating. The entire boat structure is first assembled by gluing and laminating in the hull.

The whole structure is then coated and painted before the integration of systems (rudders, keel, power, engine, etc.), electronic and electrical components, fittings, teak, fittings, preparation of the mast and boom.

Black Pepper’s Code 0 – tested and reviewed

Displaying customary weakness, sam jefferson is seduced by the allure of the black pepper’s code 0 daysailer.

The novelist George Sand once wrote that vanity was the quicksand of reason and I for one have no particular reason to disagree. What I will add is that somewhere amid that quicksand yachts must lurk. Unless you actually live aboard your yacht, it is intrinsically not a useful item. I mean, if you want to get to Cherbourg, the most sensible method is to get on a ferry. Reason doesn’t come into buying a yacht.

Now. I realise that sounds a bit negative. But it isn’t. What it means is that cruising yachts occupy a far more noble purpose. They stand for more than just utilitarian requirements of getting us from A to B; things that are equally important to human happiness; freedom, escape, hope even and, yes, vanity.

All of this rambling brings me to Black Pepper’s Code 0 yacht. Here we have weekender so stylish, it could make Kate Moss look plain. That didn’t really happen by the way. I made it up just in case anyone was wondering.

Anyway, this is a yacht that appeals effortlessly to the vanity of sailors everywhere. No one wilfully chooses to have an ugly yacht – you want to own something that people coo at admiringly when you arrive in port. The Code 0 is an expression of this vainglorious human desire.

Added spice

Despite this emphasis on style, this is a practical weekender: she features modest accommodation, a set up that is easy to handle short-handed, a diesel inboard and the option of a lifting keel. She’s 33ft long, with a modest 8ft 8in beam so wetted surface area is kept low. The beam is carried well aft however and the stern terminates with an odd combination of aft raked transom that is then raked forward at deck level. It sounds odd, but it works. There’s a soft turn to the bilge with a modest amount of rocker making for a relatively narrow, shallow hull. Freeboard is low and the hull is constructed out of post baked carbon epoxy foam sandwich which sounds delicious.

This construction method keeps the weight down to an incredibly light 1,850kg. She’s got twin rudders and there is an option for a swing keel that gives her a draught of 0.7m with it raised as compared with 2.2m with it lowered. She comes with the option of a racing rig or a cruising option which is 30m 2 smaller. Whichever option you choose, the rig is carbon and the standard sail wardrobe comprises of a mainsail, self tacking jib, Code 0 and asymmetric spinnaker set on a retractable carbon sprit.

So she’s a thoroughly modern little yacht and undoubtedly sporty. Yet step aboard and she fairly oozes class. There’s nothing brash or boy racer here, she’s beautifully finished in teak and rich mahogany with the deck line only broken slightly by the low dog house which with its narrow slit windows which are both stylish yet retro.

Although the Code 0 is a 33ft yacht, much of that length is taken up by the aft deck, with the tiller and mainsheet located well forward. This means there is a large sunbathing space aft when at anchor and also allows for two lazarette lockers with decent amounts of storage. The mainsheet is also located back here, tucked out of harm’s way aft of the rudder stock yet within easy reach of the helm. Aside from the jib sheets, all other sail controls are led underneath the coach roof to a single Harken winch on its own dedicated pedestal with the clutches recessed into the deck head which is a neat arrangement. In the centre of the cockpit is a cowl for the 14hp single cylinder inboard diesel that also doubles as a sort of small drinks table. It all adds up to an uncluttered space and an easily handled yacht – with the self tacker a real help.

Head down below and the air of class is somewhat dispelled it has to be admitted. It’s a similar sensation to admiring the sleek lines of a Ferrari from the outside and then clambering into the driver’s seat in a rather undignified manner and realising that in reality the car is dark, cramped and if you spend too much time in here your knees are likely to start to ache – particularly if you have reached that point in mid-life when owning a Ferrari seems like a good idea. The Code 0 is very much a semi custom yacht and you can fit out the interior with all manner of creature comforts, but you have to bear in mind that this is an extremely lightweight vessel and that every ounce of weight you add will affect her speed. Ultimately, this is a smart daysailer that you can weekend on if you’re up for a bit of glamping. It is never going to have anything other than sitting headroom. That said, she does have a reasonably proportioned vee berth forward and a pilot berth aft and there is ample storage potential.

Classy performer

Sailing conditions for the test consisted of a modest chop which was being generated by a 12kn breeze blowing down Southampton Water and wafting the sweet aroma of crude oil from the refineries of Marchwood. I felt in my heart this was not the true domain of the Code 0 and in my mind I conjured up the hills of Provence plunging down onto a glistening sheet of water, the breeze rich with the sweet aroma of pines and alive with the scream of cicadas. Then the Code 0 heeled to the breeze and suddenly I no longer needed to escape, for something life affirming was occurring right there.

The Code 0 sails beautifully: fast, agile, responsive and as involved as sailing a dinghy. She enjoys being sailed over on her ear but her twin rudders ensure that she has more than enough grip. No question, this is a wet boat, but you do feel nice and secure in the cockpit.

The benefit of the low freeboard is that you are also closer to the action and that is exhilarating. Hard on the wind, with apparent wind angles in the high 30s, we were hitting speeds of over six knots and as soon as we eased the sheets, we rapidly hit seven plus. Off the wind, the feather light displacement mean this is a yacht that is eager to plane early.

Sam’s verdict

On first viewing it might be easy to label this yacht a sort of Joey Essex of the sailing world. Looks pretty but ultimately so impractical it probably can’t tie it’s own shoelace. Yet closer inspection reveals this yacht to be an accomplished performer with all sorts of practical touches: an easily handled rig, inboard engine and the option of a lifting keel. These are features that make for a really versatile and truly fun weekender.

She’s never going to be anything else but functional down below, but by the end of a day’s sailing you’ll be so played out by the sheer joy of an exhilarating sail that you’ll forgive her that. Or preferably book into a well appointed hotel – hopefully with a view down to the water so you can spend the evening admiring the lines of your beautiful yacht.

Press review - Toby Hodges – Yachting World – June 2015“Match a spicy, aesthetics-led brand with a gifted designer and the result is this sensationally cool Black Pepper Code 2 60-footer. Although she may not offer the minimalist, go-anywhere prospect of a Django or Pogo, Black Pepper’s latest creation is still a fast lift-keel cruiser. And she has more than her fair share of sheer panache. Like the smaller yachts in the Black Pepper range, the Code 2 uses a traditional-style doghouse and teak decks blended with a very modern, beamy hull shape to arresting effect. The slight reverse sheer appeals particularly – this is fast becoming a signature look for designer Marc Lombard.Despite her high-end luxury daysailer appearance, Michel Douville de Franssu of Black Pepper Yachts thinks clients will be most interested in offshore racing. Black Pepper’s range is built in Nantes. The Code 2 is made in carbon epoxy sandwich and weighs around 10 tons.Her 4.6m lifting keel helps provide the deep draught needed to support minimum 410m2 of downwind sail area – plus there is 1,500lt of water ballast each side (the equivalent of having a rugby team on the rail). Like the other French designs shown, sheets are led to inboard winches, abaft the cockpit benches. So beamy is the Code 2 in the after sections that the central area between the rudder stocks lifts like the boot of a car to reveal a tender garage below. Below decks she looks every bit the luxury cruiser, including, notably, four heads.”
