First sailing for Groupama 2

60ft trimaran champion Franck Cammas launches his new beast

The long awaited launch of Franck Cammas' new Groupama 2 trimaran took place last weekend. The new boat is expected to be very special. In his previous Groupama trimaran Cammas has been almost invincible - winning every event in the 2003 ORMA circuit, save for one Grand Prix when he finished second.

The new boat is a design by Marc van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prevost. To read more about it - click here
