3 new hulls built in preimpregnated carbon / nomex at Multiplast

Reintegrated cross beams, mast, boom, rudder and foils from Sodebo 60'

Sailing Legends Russell Coutts and Paul Cayard approached VPLP with a brief for a dynamic inshore multihull that would fly a hull in XX of breeze. The goal is to run a global racing series for twelve teams representing 12 nations competing on the one design racing catamarans.
The World Sailing League will use a fleet racing format although a number of other innovative concepts such as time trails and slalom racing will be tested using the prototype yacht. It will also have a customised support ship to transport the boats and equipment to each venue. The ship will be akin to a transportable pit lane, with all the technology required to maintain the 70’ catamarans.

The Multi One Design or MOD is the new one design which has replaced the ORMA 60 fleet.

The performance objectives are to design for international, off shore racing as proposed by the Krys Ocean Race. The aim behind a one design boat is to keep costs down, while maximising exposure in order to appeal to global sponsors.

Key differences between the ORMA 60’ trimaran and the new 70’ MOD are:
- Strongly orientated to off shore racing
- Designed for a reduced crew
- A fast, modern design with foils
- A more condensed sail plan with a shorter mast
- A longer main hull, sitting high on the water line to reduce the risk of digging in
- Over all, the design is fashioned to favour offshore weather conditions
