On the docks, visitors were able to discover a village entirely dedicated to multihulls, presenting all the necessary parts and services – boating equipment, electronics, deck hardware, sail making, financing solutions, insurance, marine surveyors, transport, charter and even advice for blue water cruising.
The boats on show were mainly 40 to 60-footers. For future editions, it would be great to see more powercats and especially more multihulls under €200,000 in the hope that this would encourage more owners to take part in the event, and not just brokers. Among the encouraging developments at this still young show (2024 was its 9th edition), there will also be greater international exposure.
The highlight of these three 100% multihull days was undoubtedly the attendance of the trimaran The Famous Project. This craft, which is none other than the former IDEC, is the backbone of an exceptional 100% female challenge, as Alexia Barrier and her 7 seasoned crew will be setting off in 2025 with the aim of winning the Jules Vernes Trophy - the record for a non-stop circumnavigation of the globe via the Great Capes.
