All about: Sail

The second MODX 70 is taking shape! At the Couach shipyard in Gujan-Mestras, on France's Arcachon Bay, the hull has just been released from its mold, revealing for the first time the lines of this rather unconventional catamaran. It's another milestone for Océan Développement, which entrusted construction of its multiyacht to the Gironde-based shipyard. Couach is also responsible for building the Veya powercats, a new brand developed in partnership with Fountaine Pajot. Launch is scheduled for June 2027.

Unveiled in a world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Leopard 43 succeeds the Leopard 42, of which 207 units were built. We had the opportunity to put this new catamaran through her paces out of Saint-Raphaël, with a stop at anchor in the Bay of Agay.
