materials, the technical characteristics of which are checked prior to use; then, the production of samples to confirm the mechanical characteristics of the composite; and finally, control by means of non-destructive ultrasound testing.
Truly dynamic
This boat is the result of efficient collaboration between three entities: the naval architects, the Groupama 3 technical team and the Multiplast yard. No fewer than 50 people worked on the production of this 22.5 m boat – the world's largest trimaran – that also features curved foils. What is more, the fittings are for the most part made of
carbon and built into the boat (as opposed to add-on fittings). Hence, the centreboard well has been designed to receive different appendages in line with developments, without being modified. The mast foot on the central hull is made entirely of carbon, whereas it was made of titanium on previous-generation boats. For reasons of performance and weight saving, Groupama 3 has never needed a primer prior to being painted.
