The skippers of the new MOD70 circuit have met Steve Ravussin for a test sail on board of the first trimaran MOD70. Steve Ravussin says: "Michel Desjoyeaux, skipper of Foncia, was as always highly relevant to all technical aspects. Sebastien Josse, from Gitana Team, enjoyed this first contact with the trimaran. As for Roland Jourdain, he is looking forward to sailing his Veolia Environnement in just a little more than a month!"
The skippers have been able to give their opinion on the test sails. Multi One Design has chosen to play one-design even for the sails. Thus, each boat will be equipped with identical North 3DL sails. Jacques Guichard, from North Sails, has gathered the comments of the future MOD70 skippers and has made some last changes based on their recommendations.
