Geant in photos

Photographers Gilles Martin-Raget and Yvan Zedda show their top images of Michel Desjoyeaux's trimaran

Note the X-beam configuration (although not as radical as Gitana X's) with the separate curved aft beam for the mainsheet track. This configuration was first used by Nigel Irens on Philippe Poupon's 75ft Fleury Michon VIII tri which won the 1986 Route du Rhum.
