The 60 foot trimaran, KINGFISHER-FONCIA which has just completed the Transat Jacques Vabre, has been sold by its owner Alain Gautier.

Gautier, who raced the boat in the recent TJV with Ellen MacArthur has sold the boat to Swiss sailor, and co-skipper of the winning tri Groupama, Steve Ravussin to make way for his new state of the art trimaran due to be launched next spring.
