Bowing the performance

If Bruno Peyron and his crew have demonstrated one more time they have the mastery of the boat, they never stop to speak about the extreme reliability, the fantastic performances and the ideal easy-handling of the giant multihull. Words which are to please her designers the Gilles Ollier Design Team and her builder Multiplast. All will be in Brest in the hours coming for bowing that "nice" navigation: first the five of the design office Gilles Ollier, Yann Penfornis, Franck Martin, Jack Michal & Alan Catteliot ; thus the 50 "prototypistes" of Multiplast shipyard.
