But no matter, the <strong>Multiplast<\/strong> teams are well honed to these &#8220;commando&#8221; interventions after over 20 years that the yard has been building prototypes. <strong><em>Logistics manager, Patrick Ciss\u00e9<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>&#8220;since the damage was announced and Orange II has been back in France we haven&#8217;t stopped, particularly since its arrival in Lorient. Every 8 hours, in groups of 8 to 10 people, we&#8217;ve done our &#8216;watches&#8217; on the scaffolding and under the tents that we erected specially. That&#8217;s all part of our work and the motivation is still there, particularly when Orange II&#8217;s crew are clearly under pressure and are so spontaneously grateful&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><br \/>And yet the prototype team are not totally satisfied with their work as, in the time allocated, they haven&#8217;t had the time to complete the finishing touches so as to reach Multiplast&#8217;s usual standard of quality. <em><strong>Yann Penfornis, in charge of general coordination<\/strong><\/em> : <em>&#8220;it&#8217;s part of the company&#8217;s culture never to let a creation leave the yard before it is perfect shape. Telling our teams that we&#8217;re going to put the boat back in the water in 3 hours time whilst they&#8217;re still tackling the painting didn&#8217;t go down too well. But the boat is very well repaired and ready for another stab at the Troph\u00e9e Jules Verne&#8221;.<\/em><br \/>After this pitstop that has required over 400 hours of work,<strong> Orange II<\/strong> should be back at sea very soon.
