The launch of the MOD 70’ series announces the great return of the oceanic one-design multihulls and aims to attract the best sailors in the world that will be able to fight on equal terms. A press conference will be held on Friday 2 October 2009 in Lausanne (Switzerland).
Yves Gevin, President of the FONCIA Group Directory:: ≫ “For the 10th anniversary of FONCIA’s sailing sponsoring, Michel has granted us with an exceptional year, giving us a number of splendid victories. He has showed his great fighting spirit and desire and he has never given up. So, how to go further? By being daring and pionnering: the MOD 70 circuit enables us to go back to the origin of our history with the trimarans while participating in a great and innovative adventure.

“In 2006, when I left multihull racing for the Vendee Globe, I had the intention to come back to it afterwards… and then the Orma class disappeared. Today, the situation has changed with the new start of the MOD 70. These one-design boats will be more simple, more robust, more oriented towards ocean racing and more accessible to teams with less experience. With FONCIA, we are the first team which has committed for 2011. The first 5 boats will be delivered at the end of 2011 and there should be 12 teams on board by 2012. I am looking forward to these exciting competitions!
