After several months of intense work, the new Sodebo Ultim' has been launched this monday, the 19 th of May in front of the Multiplast boat yard.

Metamorphosis of a giant

In the Multiplast workshops, Géronimo has been turned into an  optimized trimaran able to be sailed singlehanded. First, the weight of the boat was reduced, then a 102 feet central hull was built and a new 115 feet mast was fitted. Furthermore, the beams had to be reinforced  to support the extra load coming from the new foils in the floats.
