“The little Code” combines simplicity, elegance and pure sailing enjoyment. Lightweight, responsive and easy to handle, the Code # delivers lively performance and direct feedback at the helm, with a sailing character inspired by high-performance dinghies.
Its signature doghouse, wooden deck and clean lines give the Code # an immediately recognisable silhouette, true to the Black Pepper Yachts identity. Built entirely in carbon, it benefits from modern naval architecture and advanced composite construction to achieve lightness, stiffness and performance.
Compact, elegant and fast, the Code # captures the spirit of the Code range in a daysailer designed above all for the pleasure of sailing.
Launched in 2016, after the 10-metre Code 0, the Code # was conceived as a more compact yacht for a broader range of sailing programmes and owners.
Its smaller size called for a name that could follow “0”. The # symbol naturally emerged as a short, graphic and contemporary identity — and became the name of this “little Code”.
Designed by Marc Lombard, the lightweight Code # draws inspiration from modern ocean-racing hulls. Equally suited to solo day sailing, family outings or more performance-oriented sailing, it combines versatility with responsive handling.
Its lifting keel reduces draft for access to shallow harbours and anchorages close to shore. Easy to rig and transport, the Code # can also be moved from one sailing area to another depending on the owner’s programme.
The open stern provides easy access to the water, while the uncluttered teak deck allows simple and safe movement on board. Lightweight, well balanced and generously powered, the Code # delivers lively acceleration and precise handling.
Its carbon rig, square-top mainsail, generous headsails, twin rudders and wide hull contribute to stability, control and performance, while keeping the yacht manageable with a reduced crew.

The Code # 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 deck, fittings, preparation of the mast and boom.
