On Wednesday, 27th of August 08 the world's largest G-Class maxi-trimaran, Banque Populaire V was launched in Lorient, France. Measuring at 131ft (40 meters)long, the maxi-trimaran is the largest racing multihull ever built..
The trimaran was built at CDK Technologies shed and it took almost two years to be completed. It was a great feeling for the Team Banque Populaire to see their beautiful vessel land safe in water.
"The launching today pays tribute to a coordinated and committed team, and the reunion of the biggest French know-how in the field of marine construction." said Pascal Bidégorry, the team skipper.
Ronan Lucas, Director of Team Banque Populaire is very happy to see the boat finally on the water. He is sure that in time to come this boat is going to break many records. He adds "The Banque Populaire team, under Pascal, will test the trimaran ahead of its record breaking campaign".

Feels like a perfect combination of Form and Function - amazing video on transfer of the multihulls on to the water-quay.
There seems something very fancy about boats such as this and the Hydroptere.
