The ECAL signs the Graphic Design of the New Boat of World Renown Swiss Skipper Steve Ravussin
Pierre Keller and Stève Ravussin have presented today at the ECAL (University of art and design Lausanne) the graphic design of the new MOD70 boat “Race for Water” that the Swiss skipper will sail through the oceans. The boat is the ambassador boat of Multi One Attitude Foundation. It is a collaboration between Multi One Design, the Foundation and the ECAL. The design chosen has been created by Romain Collaud, student in his first year of Bachelor in visual communication (specialized in graphic design) at the ECAL.
In May 2010, Baron Benjamin de Rothschild announced his commitment to the new MOD 70 class (Multi One Design) by placing an order for the fourth one design of the series. Today, the Gitana Team unveils the name of the sailor who will be entrusted with the helm of this new craft: Sébastien Josse, a talented sailor, soon to be 36, has been selected to take up the gauntlet.
Stève Ravussin and Roland Jourdain were today in Lorient, at Keroman Technologies (CDK) shipyard, to unveil the last phase of the construction of their boats. Michel Desjoyeaux, skipper of the third MOD70 “Foncia”, has paid a last minute visit too. Stève Ravussin’s MOD70 “Race for Water” has entered the completion phase (fittings, electronics,…) and the christening is planned on March 25th: a unique launching event which will leave its mark as the “birth of a major event” with an exceptional 4D show open to the public, at the Cité de la Voile Eric Tabarly in Lorient. As for the MOD 70 nr.2 “Veolia Environnement”, she is entering the assembly phase with a scheduled launch on June 2nd.
