24 hours with François Gabart onboard Macif Tri by Christophe Launay
All images sent by Christophe Launay. Christophe always with the most interesting assignments portraying the French Nuts sailing solo the Maxi Trimaran beasts. This new version of Macif was desinged to foil, note the daggers designed by Guillaume Verdier.
Foiling or not (ongoing tests) handling that monster alone is a challenge not many can endure. Forget about playstation sailing, at least for the moment, as Christophe show us some traditional lines and controls onboard.
