The G Force, a maxi cat for a maxi story
The maxi G FORCE catamaran has always impressed with its size but this racing car also has an impressive record history. 33m long and 16.5m wide with a 40m mast, this racing catamaran is one of the best of its generation. Its sailing area is 510m², an impressive size even for a maxi catamaran. Its weight is also a feat, the boat underwent a weight loss treatment between 2002 and 2004 and then no longer weighs 20.5 tons.
The G Forces Today
Its new owner has decided to offer him a retreat from the current competitions, but still travels the seas and oceans of the globe with his crew. He recently made a world tour. A nice conversion for a racing catamaran. You should also know that the G Force was created in 3 copies, and that two are still currently sailing. It is therefore a new life that its owner offers him by continuing to beat speed records, for his own pleasure.
Today his crew came to Port Navy Service – Port Saint Louis du Rhone, in order to carry out the maintenance and dismasting of this maxi catamaran. These interventions will be carried out under the direction of the company META YACHTS SERVICES. Finding a dry parking space, having a maxi catamaran dismasted with a 40m mast is not a simple operation, and requires technical skills and sufficient space on the ground. All of these conditions are met at Port Navy Service.
