Maxi trimaran Orange II (which is not the biggest of the world, Cheyenne is 38 meter long vs 37 for Orange II), continues to spin the stopwatches. Bruno Peyron : "...Boat is going very well and her speed is over polar curves registered last summer. I ma not really surprised by the dramatic potential of the boat, but I wasn't expecting to be able to use her and attack so much. Weather conditions allow us to use the boat between 90 to 100 % of her potential..."
No doubt about words of Orange II' skipper. At Cape Horn, the last important mark to round, times reference were explosive: Orange II has more than one week 2500 miles ahead Cheyenne
