THE IDEAL PLATEFORM TO BE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE BOATS
“The idea around this platform stemmed from a request made by our partners and sponsors: to offer a reception area as close as possible to the racing yachts in the marinas and to follow them at sea. It is indeed more and more difficult to offer our staff and/or clients and partners the possibility to sail on the IMOCA 60s and other racing boats such as the Ultimes or Multi 50s. The idea is to give the opportunity to follow the training sessions and other events, race starts and arrivals, on a comfortable platform that could follow the rhythm of these boats thanks to almost matching performance instead of simply watching them disappear beyond the horizon. Such a tool didn’t exist. To achieve those targets, Mer Forte has designed a structure using former floats and foils from an ORMA trimaran and put up a shortened mast from an IMOCA. With 2 double cabins, a spacious galley and satellite transmission, she can do anything!”
