THE FORMER PRINCE OF BRITTANY, A UNIQUE MAXI-TRIMARAN!
Faster & easier to handle
Since her transformation, the boat is composed of three new hulls integrating the latest shape evolutions, as well as DFI Incidences sails. This modification of the hulls has enabled her to reach better speeds and to turn faster in light winds.
A maxi-trimaran of 80 feet
Launched in 2012, the trimaran was born from the extrapolation of a 60-foot platform, an ORMA trimaran, which made her gain 20 feet. It took two years for the designers & builders to come up with a model which could push back the limits of ocean racing!
This trimaran is therefore recent and in almost new condition.
A unique boat
This giant of the seas, combining power, lightness, robustness and comfort, is a true work of modern art. Built entirely in Nomex carbon and 24 meters long, this multi-hull has the weight of an 18-meter boat!
A perfect sailing ship, for professionals and beginners
The Ultim’Emotion 2 is a unique racing boat by her weight-power balance and her 100% hydraulic operation.
It will guarantee you speed, even in light winds thanks to her weight (only 7 tons !); and an outing full of thrills!
As ocean racing is a sport too often reserved for the best sailors,
Antoine Rabaste has decided to create the company Grand Large Emotion in 2010.
We offer you the opportunity to discover & train yourself in this sport by being guided by professional skippers.
You will have the opportunity to steer the trimaran, take an active part in the manoeuvres and sail on the ocean at more than 30 knots!
An ideal outing to learn how to sail a sailboat and to experience the emotion of sailing a maxi-trimaran!
Filled with Emotion
Grand Large Emotion and its crew offer you a breathtaking sporting adventure. Give your loved ones or yourself this exceptional gift. Thrill seekers or sailing enthusiasts will enjoy the ocean racing experience.
Navigate Safely
Our team of qualified skippers, offshore racing professionals, will supervise you, and adapt its support depending on your level. (beginners are welcomed !)
Ideal Sailing conditions
Get on board serenely with Grand Large Emotion. You have nothing to prepare. Everything is provided onboard for your comfort: sailing jackets, overalls, life vests and snacks!
The trimaran is approved for 18 people. However, in order for each “skipper for a day” to steer the trimaran and participate actively in the maneuvers, we generally limit the sessions to 10 people.
Our outings are not just strolls. These are real initiations to racing navigation, and you are part of the crew for half a day or a day. You will be able to participate in the manoeuvres, sail at more than 30 knots* and take the skipper’s place to steer our Formula 1 of the seas.
*If weather conditions allow.
Anyone can come aboard to live the Emotion: experienced sailor, enthusiast, but also novices. You will be lead by a professional crew, who will take time to explain to you all the safety rules, and who will be attentive to answer all of your questions.
There is no obligation to participate.
We accept “mini skippers” from 5 years old.
