1983 Custom Foiler 50
There will probably never be another occasion like this: This fast trimaran was designed by Sylvestre Langevin and constructed by Dufour Alu in 1983. Just two of these models have been built and both of them are well known for their great success in many offshore regattas. Within the Multi 50, it is the only boat with wings that is made of aluminum and can be disassembled! It is certainly also one of the "Golden Oldies Multihulls" that races the most. Many times, she has participated in a transatlantic race and many times she was awarded. In her latest Regatta was a Route du Rhum, where she came third.
Super fast and unique - she is waiting to continue her regatta career.
