unit of the one-design monohull Veolia Oceans® series was launched
at Caen by Marc Lefebvre from V1D2 yard in the presence of
Jean-Marie Finot the architect, Jean-Marie Vaur from JMV Industries
(Cherbourg) the builder, almost 2 years prior to the day of the
first edition of the SolOceans set for 25 October 2009. The
SolOceans is the first single-handed oceanic round the world race
sailed on equal footing on sixteen-metre (52.5') high-tech
one-design monohulls all identical to each other: the Veolia
Oceans®. <BR>

the thread involving the Royal Yachting Association scolding one of
their leading British 49er teams for an obscene boat name, and
recalled that he had taken this photo of the 12m Vanity's spinnaker
during the Valencia 12 Metre event. Maybe the rules on topless
bathing are more relaxed in Spain. <BR>
