Multi70
F4. Recreational Boating, Yachting and SportDefinition
Class of 70-foot ocean racing trimarans.
A class of 70 ft (21.2 m) ocean-racing trimarans derived from the one-design MOD70 platform designed by VPLP and launched in 2011. The Multi70 boats were later modified with foils and lifting appendages, moving away from strict one-design toward an open development format raced offshore and around courses. Crews of five to six push speeds above 35 knots. Boats such as Maserati, PowerPlay, and Argo race the class. It is an open ocean-multihull class, distinct from the solo ULTIM 32/23 maxi-trimarans.
