Groupama 70

Classé dans : Groupama 70

With the purchase of Ericsson 4, winner of the last edition of the Volvo Ocean Race, Groupama Team can boast an excellent platform for training and analysis.

Rechristened Groupama 70, the Koujoumdjian design is performing an increasing number of sail trials offshore of Lorient in Brittany, where the Team is based.

For the design of the future Groupama 4, we logically turned our thoughts to Juan Koujoumdjian, an architect on the winning boats from the past two runnings (ABN AMRO and Ericsson 4), for whom we have the utmost trust.
