Doha-2006--Geronimo-bord--bord-au-dpart-de-lOryx-Quest-le-5-fvrier-2005Oryx Quest. 50 % of the fleet built by Multiplast !
______________________________________________________________________

This is the first non-stop round the world sailing race starting from the Middle East in Doha (Qatar) exactly. The race was imagined by British sailor Tracy Edwards and will line up four famous maxi multihulls, two of which were built by Multiplast : Doha 2006 et Geronimo.
The first multi - Doha 2006 - is skippered by British yachtsman Brian Thompson. The catamaran was formerly named Club Med and won The Race 2001, first of the 3 sisterships to take a top three place in the race (Innovation Explorer 2 / Team Adventure 3). The second mutli is the 34-meter trimaran Geronimo skippered by French yachtsman Olivier de Kersauson who currently holds the Jules Verne Trophy.

______________________________________________________________________

Monday January 24 at 10h 03' 07" Gmt, maxi vatamaran Orange II has crossed the starting line near Ushant for her second attempt on the Jules Verne Trophy and the RTW record under sails.
With 14 crew members, the big multihull has started with North-Easterly winds due to a high positionned on Ireland. So, it was full speed and downwind than the navigation has began. And speed, Orange II need it to reach her two targets : the Jules Verne Trophy hold by Olivier de Kersauson on trimaran Geronimo (built by Multiplast) in 63d 13h 59' and the RTW record hold by Cheyenne (38 m long) of Steve Fossett in 58d 09' 32". So, Bruno Peyron and his crew must be back from their 26 000 miles voyage before March 29 at 0h 01' 53'' Gmt for the Jules Verne Trophy and before March 23 at 19h 34' 52'' Gmt for the RTW record.
