Ushering in New Era for Offshore Racing
The new Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, also known as Gitana 18, is set to be unveiled soon. Measuring 32 meters in length and 23 meters in width, this carbon giant has been under construction at the CDK Keroman shed in Lorient, France.
With over 50,000 hours of study and 200,000 hours of construction, every element of the boat has been designed for stability, reliability, and endurance at high speeds. The goal is not to sail around the world, but to deliver exceptional performance.
“The boat will fly 100% of the time — we didn’t just adapt an existing concept; we reinvented it,”said Sébastien Sainson, Head of the Gitana Design Office.
The Maxi Edmond de Rothschild is expected to make its debut in December.
