She is the current holder of both the round-the-world Jules Verne Trophy and the Route du Rhum transatlantic single-handed yacht race.
She is 103′ of lean, mean sailing muscle.
She is the amazing IDEC Sport Trimaran and last week (5 December 2019), she sailed into HCMC, Vietnam which is where we build Rapido Trimarans at Triac Composites' factory.

Rapido was lucky enough to have an informal tour of this incredible trimaran and above is a short video prepared by Rapido (Note, Rapido Trimarans and Triac Composites do not have any official or unofficial relationship with IDEC Sport Trimaran).
Wow! Three knives with a massive sail carving up the world’s oceans! What a weapon!! What a thrill!
