Edmond de Rothschild’s new 32-meter offshore racing trimaran, Gitana 18, has been launched in Lorient, Brittany.
Gitana 18 is built to chase major offshore records, including the Jules Verne Trophy for the fastest trip around the world.

This is a first look at the impressive boat as it rolled out of the yard and headed to the crane for its launch. The yacht features major innovations and could push the Ultim class to an entirely new level of speed. Excitement is building to see it sail in the coming weeks, once the remaining systems are installed and tested.
Measuring 32 meters long and 23 meters wide, Ultim trimarans always stand out—but Gitana 18 looks truly futuristic. Its advanced aerodynamics and bold graphics, which will look even better once the rig is fully in place, make it even more striking.

The 38-meter mast was then carefully moved along the dock and stepped into the yacht, marking a key milestone in this three-year project.
