Four years ago to the day, the Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, the pioneer of a new generation of oceanic maxi-trimarans, was first unveiled and launched into the salty water of the Gulf of Morbihan.
The fruit of some 170,000 man-hours, including over 35,000 hours of study, the 32-metre Verdier design certainly drew the eye with her planing hulls, her well-crafted aerodynamics and appendages intended to sate an irrepressible desire to clear the way for offshore flight.
From the moment she left the yard, the tone was set with Ariane and Benjamin de Rothschild s vision plain for all to see! The livery designed by American street artist Cleon Peterson added the je ne sais quoi to the remarkable personality of this new craft, the twenty-eighth of the legendary Gitana saga.
