The new 'Tour de France à la Voile' one-design racing yacht, the Archambault M34, has been let off its leash.
William Borel, director of 'Tour de France à la Voile' race for which the M34 was commissioned, and skipper Cyrille Legloahec could barely hide their joy.
'The boat gave us a high feeling of power, speed, really smooth and reliable ...'
Sailing downind at 130/140°, in 17 knots of wind, the speedo came easily to 15 knots and more, giving a good idea of her real potential.
The following European events have all welcomed the new M34 class:
Primo Cup - YC Monaco
