Ushering in a New Era for Offshore Racing
The new Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, also known as Gitana 18, is set to be unveiled soon. First announced in December 2023, this 32-metre long and 23-metre wide 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 to deliver stability, reliability, and endurance at high speeds. According to Sébastien Sainson, Head of the Gitana Design Office,
"The boat will fly 100% of the time — we didn’t just adapt an existing concept; we reinvented it."
The boat is expected to be launched in December and is intended for offshore racing, with a focus on performance and speed rather than sailing around the world.
