54’ IOR, Built in Lightweight Alloy at Pouvreau Shipyard in 1980
This first large offshore racing unit, created for Alain Gabbay and designed by Gilles Vaton, emerged as the most advanced of its generation. It narrowly missed victory in the Whitbread 1981/82, securing a 2nd place overall behind the maxi Flyer II. It then claimed 3rd place in the SORC, won the EDHEC 1983, the Transat Québec-Lorient in the monohull category, and the Nioulargue 1986 in IOR. Second in the Transat La Rochelle-Québec, it was later converted into a large cruising unit and continues to participate in some regattas to this day.
It is now a magnificent, well-maintained racing-cruising sailboat, ready for a family world tour.
New rigging in 2023, mainsail, and asymmetrical spinnaker with sock in 2023, genoa, and staysail in 2023.
