GITANA Yacht – The Incredible $18M Feadship Superyacht

The GITANA yacht is an $18M superyacht from Feadship which has stood the test of time since its first launch in 1997.

She features interior design from John Munford, exterior design from Guido de Groot Design, and naval architecture by De Voogt Naval Architects.

She is a magnificent yacht on the water with a rich history of sailing experiences.

GITANA yacht interior

The interior of the GITANA yacht features a Deco -Caribbean motif and woodwork accents designed by John Munford.

There are accommodations for 12 guests in 5 cabins with a full-beam master suite and four staterooms below deck with two queen beds, two twins, and a Pullman bunk in each to add extra sleeping arrangements.

The master suite has a king-size bed, a large closet, a couch and chaise lounge, and a desk. There is also a state-of-the-art entertainment system and large windows for expansive ocean views.

An ensuite bathroom features a steam shower, jacuzzi, skylight, and a mural. All the staterooms have an ensuite bathroom and entertainment offering.

There are accommodations for ten professional crew members that cater to every need of guests onboard. 

There are many indoor-outdoor areas for guests to be entertained and enjoy. The full-beam open salon has comfortable seating for guests to kick back and enjoy the views from the oversized windows.

The swim platform is accessed by a covered aft seating area which allows easy access to the water and toys on the upper deck.

The legendary boats

Gitana was ordered by Baroness Julie de Rothschild in 1875, the 37th boat to be built by Thornycroft since the foundation of the yard in 1866 – hence file number 37 for the papers conserved in the Thornycroft archive at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich.

This was the first boat to bear the name Gitana , built entirely in steel and steam-powered, constructed on the banks of the River Thames in the London suburb of Chiswick. Her length was 24.45m, her beam 4.11m and she was delivered to Switzerland in parts, because it was not practical to navigate the River Rhine with this long boat. The ship was assembled not far from Lausanne, at Morges on Lake Geneva, at the yard of the Compagnie Générale de Navigation.

Gitana was fitted with a steam engine intended to drive her at 50kph. That promise was never fully achieved, but it was enough to earn the baroness her title of “fastest yachting lady in the world”, with a speed of 20.5 knots on Lake Geneva, a top speed of nearly 38kph – this on Gitana’s first outings in the course of constructor trials. The cruising speed of the boat was essentially around 18 knots, close to 33kph.

On 3 April 1879, Gitana confirmed her 20.5 knot world speed record in a race against the Winkelried, a boat belonging to the Compagnie Générale de Navigation.

The baroness sold this founding symbol of the Gitana saga in 1902 to Robert Thorens, one of her crew. She was renamed Minerve and converted to a fully operational cargo ship. Caught in a violent storm in November 1913, she was lost forever in Lake Geneva, at the top of Corzent (now Thonon-les-Bains). Her wreck remains there to this day.

At the close of the 19th century, Baroness Julie de Rothschild ordered a new steam ship. She now had twenty years’ experience of sailing on Lake Geneva, and was eager to beat her rivals. Her choice of supplier this time was the French constructor Augustin Normand, who built her a boat 37m long.

Gitana II was built in Le Havre and transported across the Jura in pieces like her predecessor. Her engine featured all the latest refinements and the hull shape was designed to draw the stern downwards, for greater forward power. Gitana II quickly proved her mettle, recording a new speed record in her first year of sailing, in 1898.

The record was set on Lake Geneva, between Coppet and Saint-Pres, covering a distance of 27,643 metres, starting at the south-west end of the lake on a line defined by the Coppet clock tower and the top of the Dôle. The finish to the north-east was marked by the end of the wharf at Saint-Prex, near Morges. She completed this speed trial fully laden, including 3.5 tons of coal. The time on her outward run was 34 minutes and 12 seconds; 34 minutes and 36 seconds on the return. Average speed was 26.34 knots or 48.215kph.

Gitana II was made large enough to serve as a comfortable and spacious yacht, suitable to receive the many guests who had a mind to steam around the lake. Accommodation included a roof saloon, a rest saloon reserved for ladies, two WCs, a kitchen and an office.

In the 1960s–1980s, Baron Edmond de Rothschild revived a family interest for cruising yachts and took a shine to monohulls. In 1960, he purchased Gitana III, a large steel ketch measuring 20.34 metres in length designed by F. Mulder and N.A Van Malleghem. Not especially adept at sailing close to the wind and slow downwind, Gitana III was really a ‘slow’ cruising boat. Blowing the trumpet for lazy days and a fan of old-fashioned ‘square sails’, Gitana III was certainly the catalyst for the Baron’s passion for sailing. Aboard this boat, Baron Edmond de Rothschild discovered the enjoyment of racing and gained the recognition of other sailors.

In the autumn of 1961, Baron Edmond de Rothschild paid tribute to the spirit of his ancestor Julie and commissioned a fabulous racer-cruiser: Gitana IV . On the advice of his friend Gianni Agnelli, the baron chose Cesare Sangermani to build her, at the Sangermani yard on the Ligurian coast at Lavagna, not far from Portofino in Italy.

Cantieri Sangermani are gifted boat builders who have been building sailing boats since 1896, and their all-wood creations are real gems. Gitana IV , a 27.57m yawl, took a year to build and was launched in July 1962.

More comfortable and faster than her predecessor, Gitana IV distinguished herself many times over. With a crew of friends and yachtsmen from Carantec, Baron Edmond posted a series of solid performances in Mediterranean events: the Giraglia, for instance, a race that started in 1953 and grew to be one of the most notable fixtures on the Mediterranean calendar. But it was international fame that would set this monohull apart, in the English races of the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) and notably the most famous of them all: the Fastnet Race. In 1965, the baron and his men brought considerable renown to the Gitana name with a Fastnet race time of 81 hours and 40 minutes (3 days, 9 hours and 40 minutes); a record they would hold for nineteen years.

Better suited to modern races, Gitana V was an aluminium Class I designed by the American naval architect Dick Carter and built at Abeking and Rasmussen in Germany. A very fast monohull downwind, she was handicapped when sailing upwind by an overly flexible mast. In 1971, whilst a member of the French Admiral’s Cup team, the yacht demonstrated her prowess in the Channel Race. The following season, thanks to the modifications made to her rig, which greatly improved her upwind performance, Gitana V secured a very honourable track record in the Mediterranean.

Her predecessor Gitana V was an 18 metre aluminium monohull designed by Dick Carter and launched in 1971. She performed well off the wind, but suffered serious shortcomings sailing close-hauled. So in 1974, Baron Edmond asked the American naval architects Sparkman & Stephens to design him a new boat. Plans for a 20 metre sloop with aluminium hull and teak deck were drawn up by designer Olin Stephens. Gitana VI was built at the Royal Huisman yard in Vollenhove, Netherlands, and launched in the spring of 1975.

Gitana VI entered many races: Cowes-Dinard, Channel Race, Cowes Week, Fastnet Race, Giraglia, Middle Sea Race, Semaine Nautique Internationale de Marseille (SNIM)... Events followed one after the other at an extraordinary rate, across a period of more than ten years. Built for racing, Gitana VI was also a formidable cruising boat: for instance, sailing to the West Indies, which Baron Edmond’s son Benjamin especially enjoyed. It was also on board Gitana VI at Saint-Barthélemy that Benjamin introduced his father to the woman who would become his wife several years later. Ariane Langner.

This monohull left a lasting impression on a whole generation of yachtsmen and women. It is also one of the Rothschild family’s favourite boats. An important symbol of the Gitana story, she now forms part of the Gitana Team stable alongside the modern day racing multihulls and monohulls.

Designed by the naval architect German Frers and built by the British yard Martland Marine, Gitana VII was an aluminium two tonner. Originally built to participate in the selection rounds for the Admiral’s Cup 1979, the monohull quickly had to abandon any vague desires of making the start line following some complicated issues with her finish and the class measurement. Once these problems had been resolved, Gitana VII took part in the Two Ton Cup races 1979, which she won. This victory earned the Baron a quip from a sailing journalist: “Honour to whom Two Tonner is due, Baron Edmond de Rothschild has won again.”

At the beginning of the 1980s, Jean-Pierre Odéro relaunched the Cannes Royal Regatta. At the time, this event represented the grand finale of the racing season, and the prestigious 6 metre international class (6mJI) gave it all the sense of occasion it needed.

The idea was bound to attract Edmond de Rothschild who decided, in 1981, to commission the Sparkman & Stephens firm to design him his own 6mJI. Construction was placed in the hands of the Swiss yard Egger.

Named Gitana Senior , this monohull was a moulded wood construction, with a most elegant varnished mahogany finish. It was known as “the piano” on account of its gleaming appearance. Gitana Senior enjoyed an especially busy programme of events every year, competing many times at The Cannes Royal Regatta and a real character in the spring races on Lake Geneva. She also competed in World and French 6mJI Cups, and also European championships. In 1986, she won the French 6mJI Cup.

A saga within the saga, the 6mJIs held an important place in the history of the Gitanas. It all began in 1981, when Baron Edmond de Rothschild treated his son to a 6mJI designed by Swede Pelle Petterson: Gitana Junior I. In this demanding and sporty metre class, Benjamin de Rothschild would be joined the following year by his father at the head of the crew of Gitana Senior . Subsequent boats included Gitana Junior II – created by Briton Ian Howlett –, and Gitana Junior III – built by the Swiss Philippe Durr according to designs by his compatriot Jean Grobéty. Like twins, Gitana Senior and the Gitana Juniors would take part in a variety of 6mJI events, the crews behaving like enemy brothers during competition, but rekindling their ties once the finish line was crossed.

In 1984, it was Edmond de Rothschild himself who launched the A Class – known as Maxis – rallying the other owners of big yachts around his idea. As originator and founder, he was first president of the class, with his friend and crewmate François Carn as secretary general.

To mark the event, Baron Edmond commissioned Gitana VIII , a monohull of 21 metres, and therefore a “mini-maxi”. This new boat was designed by the Argentine Germán Frers, already designer of Gitana VII, a 12 metre aluminium two-tonner with which the baron won the Two Ton Cup in 1979. Gitana VIII was built by the Ambrosini yard on the Italian Adriatic coast close to Ravenna.

Gitana VIII was the first boat in the maxi saga, and sistership to Il Moro di Venezia II , the second in another illustrious line of boats belonging to the businessman Raul Gardini, then president of the Ferruzzi industrial group.

Gitana VIII featured an aluminium hull, carbon deck, titanium winches, and a very restrained interior fit-out, as light as possible for maximum performance.

She made her mark on the period in the great Mediterranean classics such as the Giraglia, and confirmed her reputation in 1984 by winning the Nioulargue. Baron Edmond and his skipper Harold Cudmore dominated that year. (One of those they left in their wake was a certain Éric Tabarly, at the helm of the maxi Coriolan IV ...) The Nioulargue was the forerunner of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, now an unmissable international sailing event that draws together prestigious maxi yachts, high-tech prototypes and classic sailing boats in the Bay of Pampelonne each year in September/October. The Edmond de Rothschild Group has been a partner to this famous race since 2013.

Cannes has a long association with racing and the metric classes. In 1986, the Rade de Cannes welcomed the 6mJI World Cup; and Jean-Pierre Odéro, who had relaunched the Royal Regatta, announced at that time that the boats of the 8mJI class would also go on to dispute their world title on the waters of the Côte d’Azur the following year. Edmond de Rothschild was immediately persuaded to take part.

By happy coincidence, 1986 was also the year of the baron’s sixtieth birthday! The idea of a new boat for the race was irresistible. This would be Gitana Sixty, an 8mJI by Cannes designer Jacques Fauroux, built in the yard of Universal Yachting at Carros under the supervision of Jean-Hervé Mer – a monohull with all the breeding of its owner, a jewel of elegance! With a crew led by Philippe Durr, and Benjamin de Rothschild there among them, she reigned unchallenged on the waters of Cannes, winning race after race and securing the title ahead of her six rivals.

Victory was celebrated at the restaurant Au Mal Assis, where on a roll of tablecloth the crew had secretly created a 60 metre long banner on which was written a huge “Happy birthday and thank you, Edmond!” Benjamin de Rothschild then addressed his father. “You see, Papa, for your sixtieth birthday, I don’t know what present to get for you. You have everything, and you can have nearly anything. So here’s a present that money cannot buy, that we have won for you. The World Cup. I give it to you.”

Amidst the enjoyment of cruising on Gitana VI and the delights of competitions on Gitana Senior, Baron Edmond de Rothschild was lacking a boat able to be sailed single-handed and enabling him to really relish the waters of Lake Geneva. In 1990, to satisfy his passion for boats without racking up the miles or the crews, the Baron acquired the Gitana Grand Soleil at the boat show: a cruising monohull.

In the nineties, Baron Benjamin de Rothschild invested in a Formula 40, a 40-foot competition catamaran, whose name was a slight departure from Gitana tradition, since it went by the title, Force Cash . It was aboard this boat, during numerous years of catamaran sailing on Lake Geneva that the owner of Gitana Team discovered the delights of slipping along in a multihull. Today, Force Cash is a dedicated platform on the lake for teaching sailing to the LCF Rothschild Group’s associates and to external guests who are new to the sport.

This 60 foot (18.28m) trimaran was built in the Multiplast yard in Vannes in 1988 to plans drawn by Gilles Ollier, and she has lived several different lives in her time... She was originally named Elf Aquitaine III , then Harris Wilson , then Laiterie de Saint-Malo before becoming Gitana IX in 1999, when she was acquired by Benjamin de Rothschild. This was the boat that would be the young baron’s introduction to the big arena of offshore multihulls – and the start of a new succession of Gitanas.

At the end of the 1980s, the boat had enjoyed an astonishing career under the name of Elf Aquitaine III . Skippered by Jean Maurel, she won the 1988 Transat Québec-Saint-Malo in the 60 foot category, then was winner in the transatlantic Lorient-Saint-Barthélemy race in 1989 and the Two Star in 1990, with further successes in numerous Multihull Trophy and Grand Prix events. This was certainly an original boat: a clever compromise between an offshore trimaran and a large Formula 40. Not very wide, she had beams that could be dismantled so she could be transported in parts by sea.

She was considered to be a “good boat”, but her acquisition in 1999 was not primarily motivated by the prospect of podium places. The role of Gitana IX was more about giving the team an apprenticeship in the multihull class.

It was the performance of this boat, notably in the Transat Québec-Saint-Malo 2000 and the 2001 Challenge Mondial Assistance that gave Baron Benjamin an enduring passion for these carbon dragonflies.

In her own way, Gitana IX contributed to the launch of the incredible multihull saga that continues today. Sold on in 2006, she is still sailing and still features on the start line for major races like the Route du Rhum.

Gitana X was the first boat built to order for the Gitana Team under Benjamin de Rothschild. Construction was carried out by the Multiplast yard in Vannes, and completed in June 2002.

The Gitana X design was the product of a close collaboration between four design studios: Gilles Ollier ( Elf Aquitaine III , Club Med , Innovation Explorer ), Duncan MacLane ( Stars and Stripes ), Sébastien Schmidt ( Alinghi ) and Mario Caponnetto. Together they produced one of the most original trimarans in the ORMA fleet at the time. Gitana X featured banana-shaped floats and an X-beam structure that centred the weight and gave extra stiffness to the platform. The design also provided for a very large cockpit, which is ideal for manoeuvring.

Gitana X featured all the very latest innovations of the period, including curved foils, a mast that canted lengthwise and laterally, a daggerboard with a trim tab and sails in Cuben Fiber.

Initially skippered by Lionel Lemonchois, the helm then passed to Marc Guillemot in 2004, then to Thierry Duprey du Vorsent in 2005 (who was tasked with the equally important mission of training up young talent).

This trimaran is one of the emblematic multihulls from the golden age of the ORMA class. Launched under a Belgian flag in 2001, she was named Belgacom until she was bought three years later by Baron Benjamin de Rothschild, to diversify the Gitana fleet and bolster the rising power of the stable. The chief role for her predecessor Gitana X was to serve as a training boat dedicated to developing young talent. This boat, Gitana 11 , was intended to win medals.

Successively skippered by Frédéric Le Peutrec, Lionel Lemonchois and Yann Guichard, Gitana 11 was to post a series of significant results and place the Gitana name among the honours in numerous races. But her finest hour was surely in November 2006 with her towering victory in the legendary Route du Rhum, recording a crossing time that remained unbeaten for eight years.

The name Gitana 11 does in fact apply to two boats. Never being afraid to undertake a major refit, the Gitana Team actually modified this multihull in two stages to improve performance. During the winter of 2005-2006, the central hull was cut to a level 50 centimetres above the waterline. A new hull section was grafted on below and a new daggerboard casing was introduced. The cockpit was also redefined and the reinforced floats were fitted with curved rather than the standard straight foils.

Then in 2009, the organisers of the Route du Rhum announced that the 2010 edition would be opened to Ultime category boats. With this in view, the Gitana team decided on further modifications to Gitana 11 , lengthening her by 17 feet to create a 77 foot (23.51m) maxi-multihull.

Designed by VPLP yacht design, this 60-foot trimaran belongs to the ORMA class (Ocean Racing Multihull Association). Ex-Bonduelle, Gitana 12 is emblematic of the trimarans from the start of the 21st century: very beamy, pre-impregnated carbon structure, raised beams and high volume floats…

Built in 2000, this 18.28-metre multihull was originally Jean Le Cam’s Bonduelle. Purchased by the Gitana Team in 2005, she became Gitana 12 and underwent a thorough rejuvenation before joining Baron Benjamin de Rothschild’s fleet: revised deck layout, larger cockpit, revamped interior (electricity, electronics, hydraulics…), altered daggerboard casings and rig and a new set of rudders. Like one of her predecessors, Gitana X , the boat is used to train up a crew of young talent by participating in the Multi Cup events and the Route du Rhum in late 2006. She is skippered by Thierry Duprey du Vorsent.

Baron Benjamin de Rothschild acquired this 32.8m maxi-catamaran in 2006. Designed by Gilles Ollier and built in 1999, she belonged to the G Class family, “ancestor” of the Ultime category. This boat boasted a prestigious racing record. Launched in 2000 as Innovation Explorer , she was first skippered by Loïck Peyron for The Race, and took 2nd place in this “no limit” round-the-world challenge. In 2002, it was again a Peyron, this time Bruno, who took her around the globe under the name Orange , triumphantly seizing the Jules Verne Trophy in 64 days, 8 hours, 37 minutes – nearly a week better than the previous record. The following year it was the brilliant British sailor Ellen MacArthur who set off to challenge this legendary result, but the boat now renamed Kingfisher 2 fell victim to a dismasting in the Indian Ocean.

In 2006 the boat was renamed Gitana 13 by Benjamin de Rothschild, and completely revamped. Modernisations included the scaling up of the sail plan with a new 41 metre mast. In 2008, she commenced a great campaign of oceanic record breaking along some epic and historic shipping routes that had been neglected by modern day record hunters. In the course of nine months, from New York to London, by way of the Pacific and the coasts of Asia, the men of the Gitana Team criss-crossed the world’s oceans and covered nearly 40,000 miles. With seven attempts and as many records secured, the Gitana 13 campaign was a tremendous success.

The first monohull to have joined Gitana Team’s long line of racing yachts and effective as a return to basics in the Rothschild family’s maritime saga, the Domaine du Mont d’Arbois is a 10.10m one-design created by naval architect Marc Lombard.

Launched in 2003 in the colours of Groupe Bel, Thierry Duprey du Vorsent took over the Figaro Bénéteau 2 in 2007 to participate in all the events that make up the French solo offshore racing championship. That season, the yacht competed in a fine programme comprising a solo transatlantic, a double-handed Mediterranean event between Marseille and Istanbul and the famous Solitaire du Figaro – the star event of the circuit.

Baron Benjamin de Rothschild named his new boat Gitana Eighty to honour the memory of his father Edmond. The year of its launch

Designed by the Farr design office and built in New Zealand by Southern Ocean Marine, this 60 footer was a real concentration of clean-lined technology! Sistership to Jean-Pierre Dick’s Paprec-Virbac , she was packed with innovations with one major objective in view: the Vendée Globe 2008-2009.

The interior featured a unit called the “satellite” which consolidated the chart table, bunk and storage compartments, all mounted on a semi-circular track so the skipper could more easily shift the half-ton of materials – including food and safety gear – as necessary when tacking or gybing.

Another original feature of this monohull was a hull bottom with variable geometry built in, called a “trim tab”. Located right at the stern level with the rudders, this adjustment served to regulate the boat’s fore-to-aft trim, according to sea and wind conditions and the boat’s position in relation to the wind.

One final notable innovation was added to address ergonomic factors and the comfort of the yachtsman: the sliders. These two sliding panels, located between the mast and the aft platform, were conceived to optimise aerodynamics, to reduce water entering the cockpit and, thanks to its protective qualities, to minimise the energy expended by the skipper so he could trim his sails more often and more precisely.

Skippered by Loïck Peyron, Gitana Eighty shone in the various events of the IMOCA race schedule in 2007 and 2008, with an especially historic victory in The Transat. Ranked among the top favourites for the Vendée Globe 2008, Loïck Peyron was one of the main protagonists at the start of the race but was forced to retire after losing his mast in the Indian Ocean.

Gitana Eighty was sold in 2009 and renamed several times ( W Hotels , SynerCiel , Newrest-Matmut ...) She remains a very solid boat and still sails the globe contesting the major events of the IMOCA calendar.

Gitana Extreme, the Extreme40 Edmond de Rothschild , is a 40 foot one-design catamaran all in carbon, the child of a collaboration between Olympic Tornado champion Yves Loday and the

This boat is designed for sensitive trimming, and has one interesting distinction: she is entirely demountable and fits in a container equal to her length. She can then be reassembled and rigged in a single day. This means she can be transported to unusual sailing venues, of the sort that feature on the Extreme Sailing Series circuit.

Gitana Extreme is the expression of an idea, of an international circuit where dinghy sailing champions and offshore racers, irrespective of nationality, can compete side by side on equal terms. The Extreme Sailing Series was launched in 2007 on the initiative of OC Sport, and still enjoys great success. With a top-flight line-up, it has grown to become a reference circuit on an international level.

From the outset, the objective targeted by the competition’s organisers has been to give the public a close-up experience of the racing, and so to some degree democratize sailing – all in a resolutely spectacular ambience. That’s why this circuit always favours stretches of water close to shore, even sometimes in the heart of a city: in the canals of Amsterdam, for instance, or right at the foot of Sugarloaf Mountain and the Corcovado peak in Rio de Janeiro, or in the Turkish waters of the Bosphorus... It is a clever blend of competition and spectacle that is truly unique and reflects an approach that proved tremendously successful for the Gitana Team in early 2000 at the time of the multihull Grand Prix events.

The Extreme40 Edmond de Rothschild competed on the Extreme Sailing Series circuit for four consecutive seasons, from 2009 to 2012. Always at the head of the fleet, the team won a number of meetings and made it onto the podium at the annual championships. Gitana Extreme was beyond question one of the great protagonists of the Extreme Sailing Series.

Launched at the end of 2011, Gitana XV was largely inspired by the former multihulls of the ORMA class (Ocean Racing Multihull Association). She started out as a 70 foot one-design trimaran in the MOD70 class, originally intended for a one-design championship based around seven identical multihulls. In this guise she took part in the Krys Ocean Race fought out between New York and Brest, taking 2nd place. She also competed in a multihull tour of Europe.

In 2013, with no circuit available, the Gitana Team put together its own made-to-measure programme, including the ArMen Race, the Route des Princes, the Rolex Fastnet Race and the climax: Sébastien Josse and Charles Caudrelier paired up for the Transat Jacques-Vabre.

The following year, this multihull was adapted for singlehanded sailing, with a view to participating in the Route du Rhum’s main Ultime category. No longer strictly one-design, the boat went on to become the Multi70 Edmond de Rothschild, and underwent several transformations before it took to the famous Saint-Malo – Pointe-à-Pitre course. Ergonomic modifications were required to adapt the layout of the deck for singlehanded sailing, accompanied by significant alterations to benefit the boat’s performance.

In a bid to compete with the big trimarans in the Ultime class that measured between 30 and 40 metres in length, Gitana Team had the idea of fitting out their 21 metre boat with adjustable T foil rudders – a first for any offshore multihull. The aim was to help the boat reduce drag and gain speed. This was put into practice when Sébastien Josse sailed the boat to a widely praised 3rd place in the Route du Rhum in 2014. Naturally, this encouraged the five-arrow stable to pursue its research.

The plan was to turn the Multi70 Edmond de Rothschild into the first flying offshore multihull! Phase 2 of the project started in 2015 with the installation of asymmetric foils, research having confirmed that L foils were more fit for purpose than those the Gitana Team had been using. In 2016, after numerous trials on new appendages and their reliability, Gitana XV really did take off. For three years, this trimaran served as a laboratory that allowed the Gitana Team to carry out full-scale testing of appendages and systems that could then be applied to the 32 metre maxi-multihull under construction – the future GitanaMaxi . Meantime, Gitana XV was sold to the Italian Giovanni Soldini and renamed Maserati .

A 32-foot flying catamaran, the GC32 Edmond de Rothschild joined the ranks of the five-arrow racing stable at the very start of 2015.

This 10-metre long Martin Fischer design (12 if you include the imposing bowsprit) is heavily inspired by the AC72s, the catamarans developed during the last America’s Cup, even though she’s not equipped with a fixed wing. Kitted out with L-foils and lifting surfaces on the float rudders, this multihull fully embodies the revolution taking over watersports, that of flying boats. Launched in 2013, the GC32 has boasted a dedicated international circuit since 2014.

Within the GITANA fleet, the GC32 Edmond de Rothschild fulfils various roles: a test platform for the company’s design office, this latest generation catamaran is above all the perfect training craft for the sailing team. Aboard her, the sailors are developing a whole new approach to modern sailing whilst reinforcing their team spirit, since this demanding craft requires perfect synchronisation among the crew to manoeuvre her while airborne.

It was in August 2015, eight years after Gitana Eighty , that the Mono60 Edmond de Rothschild, Gitana 16 , took her place in the historic line of Gitana boats.

A year in build at the Multiplast yard, this Verdier-designed IMOCA class boat is among the first generation 60 foot monohulls fitted with foil daggerboards. Her goal is the Vendée Globe 2016-2017, with Sébastien Josse as skipper.

This is a sailing boat with a thoroughbred style. The planing hull features a very high volume bow to boost performance at speed. The shape is “tumblehome” (meaning the beam at the sheer is less than the maximum beam of the hull) limiting the beam of the deck and so saving weight. Freeboard is reduced, accentuating the boat’s beaminess. The deck is flat, the cockpit is open and foils take the place of the straight daggerboards that featured on previous generations. Gitana 16 is a boat with lots of character.

The new IMOCA Class standard that was agreed in December 2013 means this boat must be fitted with a one-design keel and one of two prescribed mast formats. This forms part of the rules decided at the conclusion of the Vendée Globe 2012-2013 with a view to improving safety margins and reducing the cost of these extraordinary machines.

On 11 May 2015, Cyril Dardashti – managing director of the Gitana Team – announced the start of construction on a new-generation maxi-multihull more than 30 metres long. Observers could now more easily understand the logic of the Gitana Team’s approach in recent months, as a more powerful development methodology. This new craft, the twelfth in the Gitana Team story, would profit fully from trials carried out on the Multi70 Edmond de Rothschild in the period 2014-2016, which had allowed architects and designers to make full-scale tests of the appendages and systems they planned to install on GitanaMaxi .

This new-generation Ultime, designed by the team of naval architect Guillaume Verdier and constructed in the Multiplast yard, is conceived essentially for single-handed racing. In design terms, it stands at the cross-over point between displacement boat and flying craft.

We sailed aboard the Ultim foiling trimaran Gitana17:Edmond de Rothschild

With the flying machine in full swing, note the adjustable end flap (yellow) at the bottom of the daggerboard (equipped with a trimmer). The 15.5 t and 32x23m of Gitana 17 sits on 4 points (leeward foil, central and port rudder blade and daggerboard flap)

At full speed, the foiler exceeds 40 knots, so you can understand the importance of aerodynamic optimization!

Sébastien Josse standing on the cap of the gigantic foiler. Note the log showing 35.7 knots of boatspeed with less than 20 knots of true wind!

Helming such an exceptional machine provides unforgettable pleasure... Philippe Echelle, chief tester at Multihulls World is one happy sailor!

The awesome deck plan of an Ultim foiler: hydraulics, computers, deck hardware, winches and custom-made columns developed in the USA as part of a partnership with Harken... Welcome aboard a flying trimaran of the future!

The protective capsule of Gitana 17 is a beautiful carbon structure, luminous, slender and strong. New ergonomics are needed to control a machine in which the apparent wind is constantly very strong and where there is generous spray

Sébastien Josse shows the screen for controlling all the parameters of the flight. Each appendage is loaded with sensors whose values are displayed in digital and analogue (on the image of the trimaran).

The foiler’s cockpit and life pod. Thomas Rouxel is adjusting the foil incidence (rake) from 5.50 high by means of the small, carbon half-wheel (it controls its action of 0 to 4° from the image of the boat on the screen in front of him)

Gitana: A family of prestigious, classic boats

In 1876, Baroness Julie de Rothschild commissioned Thornycroft shipyard to build a 24.45m record steamer. The first of the Gitanas would be timed on Lake Geneva at 20.5 knots (an extraordinary speed for the period!): the world record! The Gitana saga had begun! In the 1960s, Baron Benjamin (founder of the financial group in 1953) revived the family enthusiasm for boating and racing.

The transformation into a racing team mainly dedicated to multihulls

In 2000 Ariane and Benjamin de Rothschild established a real competition team that recruits its skippers from among the cream of the crop: Fred Le Peutrec, Loïck Peyron, Jean Le Cam, Thierry Duprey Du Vorsent and Lionel Lemonchois have been among those elected. The first racing trimaran was the former Elf III, now Gitana IX (Designed by G.Ollier - Multiplast). Then came the first boat entirely developed by the team: Gitana X. Its design was already based on the characteristics that were to become the hallmark of the team: daring techniques and aesthetics were being sought. The X was the product of a unique collaboration (something not yet undertaken in 2002!) between Gilles Ollier, Sebastien Schmidt, Mario Caponnetto and Duncan Mac Lane. Geared towards performance at Grand Prix level, this boat with X-arms was a little fragile for ocean racing.

By now the team had gained experience and made the informed choice of the acquisition of Jean Luc Nélias' ex-Belgacom (VPLP / Larros / CDK). Fred Le Peutrec and Loïck Peyron were the skippers, before Lionel Lemonchois' fantastic ride in the 2006 Route du Rhum, with an incredible victory in 7 days 17 hours! It was one of the most fantastic performances in this race since its inception. The boat was then to be transformed and extended by 17' to be eligible for the new Ultim class, and would then come 4th in the 2010 Route du Rhum, with Yann Guichard. Gitana 12 (formerly Jean Le Cam’s Bonduelle) was to be the team’s last Orma before the acquisition of one of the 4 giants of the time: Loïck Peyron’s former Innovation Explorer. Perfectly prepared, the big catamaran measuring 32.80m set out on a series of ocean records in 2008. From 2009 through 2012, the one-design circuit of the Extreme40 Sailing Series mobilized the team's multihull activity with Pierre Pennec at the helm. In 2011, the Mod 70 series started to look promising: one-design with a dynamic calendar. The bar had been raised! An ideal boat for the team. Alas the system rapidly collapsed: Sébastien Josse and Charles Caudrelier’s victory in the Transat Jacques Vabre was to be the high point of the adventure. Transformed into an experimental flying trimaran, which makes L foils progress quickly (the most efficient at the time), the Mod 70 Gitana 15 returned under the hand of Guillaume Verdier (one of the pioneers of the Team New Zealand foiler during the America’s Cup). This boat was to become the first modern ocean foiler: it paved the way for Gitana 17:Edmond de Rothschild.

Gitana 17:Edmond de Rothschild, the first flying Ultim trimaran

Launched after Macif (CDK/VPLP in original Archimedean version, holder of the single-handed round the world record), but before Banque Populaire IX (CDK/VPLP), Gitana 17 was a born foiler: Guillaume Verdier's radical and highly innovative design is characterized by rectangular section arms, streamlined and without curvature (for better platform rigidity and increased reliability), a very large elevation of the topsides of the floats and optimized aerodynamics. From a hydrodynamic point of view, the flat U-shaped float and hull sections provide the planing shapes that maximize lift and avoid getting "sucked down". These flat bottoms in monolithic carbon also play a stiffening role to counteract the twisting loads on the foils when in action (50 tonnes!). The boat was designed around its appendages at the end of the Mod70 test campaign: 3 inverted T-rudder blades, 2 L-shaped foils with XXL dimensions (5.40m!), and a central T-shaped daggerboard with trimmer and flap at the extremity. Maximum height on the water, maximum platform stiffness and minimum aero and hydrodynamic drag: these are the parameters of this aggressive and futuristic design.

The technical, conceptual and financial challenge

If the figures make us dizzy, they also express the reality of design and manufacture of such a speed machine that is actually evolving for the first time in the air-water interface. These 15.5 tons of black fiber required the investment of 250 stakeholders in all. These included 40 composites specialists who spent 20 months on its production, 35,000 hours of design team time and 135,000 hours of construction! The complex mobile appendages of such a flying machine have required the intervention of 3 different manufacturers in order not to risk weakening a company in case of default on one of the parts (the two foils cost €500,000 for example!). Eligio Re Fraschini (foils) is a strong, high-tech company specializing in the manufacture of Formula 1 chassis, avionics composite parts and large-vessel propellers; Heol's Morbihan team has an extraordinary mastery of hollow carbon parts and pre-impregnated material in general. This composites alchemist put together the central daggerboard with its trimmer and end flaps. C3 Technologie in La Rochelle operates in the same areas and also manufactures all-carbon passenger aircraft. Here’s are some amazing numbers: Foils with a height of 5.50m withstand up to 130t of load before breaking! The construction budget of the boat: €15M; the annual budget of the team: €3.5 M (but compare this with the budget, for example, of the Sky cycling team: €35 M!! And they’re not even building an innovative boat!

Just a perfect day!

I’m sure Lou Reed will forgive me for borrowing this from one of his iconic songs, but these are the words that came to my mind when I left the maxi foiler. Some notes on a Steinway, a heady, addictive melody, a song that transcends time! My experiences of multihull flight are very limited: Some runs in Windrider Rave in the late 90s, the AC50 Groupama; the TF30 trimaran and finally Gitana 17. However, sailing each of these boats gave me an intense pleasure and revived my passion for multihulls! With these machines, life starts at 20 knots, explodes at 30 and reaches a climax at 40! Ocean flight isn’t 5 years old, but for a new generation of Jedi-navigators it opens a revolutionary sector in the sailing experience. It was the magicians of the appendages who made this miracle possible!

Our trip took place at the end of a night out with a small crew off the coast of Brittany. The crew: (Thomas Rouxel, Sébastien Josse, his teammate in the Transat Jacques Vabre, Nicolas Lunven who will be in charge of weather routing for the 2018 Route du Rhum and Sébastien Sainson who is a naval architect who graduated from Southampton, and is a member of the design team) We joined the trimaran SE of the Ile de Groix. The mastodon descended towards us with the wind behind and the mainsail sheet in to slow her down and stabilize her. A spectacular fender staircase is set up from the big 10m tender to allow us access on board.  Immediately, we are in for a collective 5 minute session of effort (with 4 of us!) on the grinders to lower the port foil (the biggest winch has been designed as a one-off by Harken USA for a permanent workload of 9 tonnes)! The rudders and the daggerboard are in the lowered position,  and the foil raked at 3° (a positive impact out of the possible 4°). We then unfurled the solent (again, sizeable effort is required and there are 4 of us on the grinders)! Sheeted hard in (as always on this kind of boat where the apparent wind is always very close to dead ahead, whatever the speed, this sailing rocket takes off in 12 knots of wind. Thomas Rouxel is at the wheel where the jumbo display regularly shows 25 knots of boatspeed when, suddenly, at 90° to the true wind that goes up to 15-16 knots, the powdery wake becomes huge, the speedo panics and the appendages pull us free from earthly attraction! 32 knots, the trimaran’s trim is so perfect that it seems unreal. We are flying! Sébastien Josse offers me the chance to take the helm. Well-secured on the navigating platform, titanium rim in hand, I poke my head through the opening roof and find myself in an exclusive, exceptional universe, that of one of the 5 Ultim multihulls which exist in the world. 

The helm sensation is quite a shock at first, but you get used to the size of the machine quickly. Sitting between 82 and 90° off an irregular wind, I manage to keep the machine in flight and semi-flight. The transitions between the Archimedean sequences and the 5-point takeoff are smooth, as is the landing. It’s extraordinary! The noise coming from aft is powerful, but the noise level of the appendages (perceived from the outside) is low; not at all like the wild beast howls of an AC50. The wind speed, just unbearable for a long time, is the reason why the navigation capsule includes the helm station and all the sail handling controls. A small removable windshield completes the device to help fight against the spray! In these ideal conditions, the speed is maintained between 22 and 36 knots and the steady behavior is so perfect that one has the impression of sailing on a well-honed, long-developed machine, whereas in reality, the job list is always full at the end of each test run. 

If Nicolas Lunven (weather) and Olivier Douillard (performance) manage to position the machine in good condition and a driver in shape on an optimized trajectory, the long flight sessions will allow a unique wake across the Atlantic. The English Channel, Biscay and The Azores are not short of rough crossings, delicate weather phenomena and crossed seas, all the opposite of the desired conditions for high speed. The bonus will go to the pilot who will fly the best and the most regularly, knowing that it is almost impossible to rest in these conditions...

At the helm, I observe the fantastic work of the foils and the careful preparation of this platform which provides extraordinary performance, and am fascinated by the snowy wake that we leave between Ile de Groix and Belle Ile! At 30 knots, on our way back, the perception of the entrance to the Chenal de Lorient is distorted and in a few minutes we are off the signal station, where the speed is limited to 6 knots! With all the sails eased, the 32m trimaran stops: it's over. All that’s required now is get the machine back alongside the dock using the 110hp engine and the two little tugs!
