Things are moving in the Multi50

After a decade of success and an unequalled racing record, Franck-Yves Escoffier and Crêpes Whaou! parted company at the end of last year... A nice story thus came to an end, but will remain in the annals of ocean racing, with 3 racing trimarans (the famous Crêpes, 1, 2 and 3).

At the last Paris Boat Show, the question on everyone's lips, amongst ocean racing enthusiasts, concerned who would succeed in awarding themselves the very fast Crêpes Whaou! 3.
And it was finally FenêtréA and Cardinal which decided to purchase the trimaran for their skipper, Erwan Le Roux. With this boat, one of the fastest in the Multi50 fleet, the sailor from the Morbihan and his Breton sponsors are committing themselves to an ambitious, 3-year programme, with as a high point, the 2014 Route du Rhum and a clear aim: victory!
Meanwhile, you will find the trimaran in all of the 2012 Grands Prix, and of course at the start of the Quebec - St Malo on 22nd July 2012.
