Maxi 80 Prince de Bretagne
Lionel Lemonchois wanted a light and manoeuvrable multihull for single-handed sailing, one that was quick, reliable and cut the water cleanly.

Moxie
The specifications for the Moxie 61 were to design a fast, light, reliable and easy to sail cruising catamaran for boat owners looking for performance and style. With her 62’ LOA, 31’6” beam and sleek profile, the Moxie 61 more than lived up to her remit. She is – along with Ciliam – one of the first sailing catamarans to have an aft-of-centre mast, resulting in a more efficient rig.
