Marc Thiercelin: "... I'd thought that if one day I had the opportunity to build a new boat, I'd call for Multiplast's expertise. I've known them for quite long and I've also followed their excellent results for their Jet Services or other Class America as Areva.Their prototypes for offshore races are like Rolls Royce. Moreover, DCNS was designed by the Groupe Finot,
