on this new Ultim, we can clearly see very long floats, an X-shaped structure with streamlined arms in the form of an airplane wing, and a raised, a completely closed cockpit - it remains aft of the mast, a curve at the stern mainsheet traveler, six load-bearing appendages – the central daggerboard, large float foils and three rudders. Launch is scheduled for spring 2021, and this maxi trimaran will be skippered by Armel Le Cléac'h.
