The Atlante (English: Atlas of mythology), is a French sailboat that was designed by Georges Auzepy-Brenneur and first built in 1965.

The design was built by Chantier Mallard starting in 1965 and by Archambault Boats of Dangé-Saint-Romain, France, starting in 1967. Production ended in 1977, with 280 boats completed. Archambault, which had been founded in 1967, went out of business in 2015.

The boat has a draft of 4.27 ft (1.30 m) with the standard keel and is fitted with a inboard engine for docking and manoeuvring. It has a hull speed of 6.14 kn (11.37 km/h).
