We are thrilled to announce that the very first MODX 70 #01 has been launched in La Rochelle and will soon be seen on the ocean. This milestone marks a significant step in our quest for more sustainable and environmentally friendly sailing.

The integration of the wings, in partnership with Aeroforce, will take place soon in Lorient. These retractable and automated wings are a key innovation that sets the MODX 70 series apart.

Before we commence our sea trial campaign, we are ensuring that every detail is perfectly optimized. These trials will confirm the exceptional performance and ecological benefits of our model.

Design, performance and durability

Every detail of the MODX 70 has been designed to minimise the impact on the ocean while offering exceptional comfort and functionality. Its interior design is fully customisable, reflecting a modern, high-end approach to yachting.

This 70-foot catamaran combines design, performance, and sustainability, with total autonomy thanks to its innovative twin-screw propulsion system and eco-designed equipment.

The MODX 70 is not just a boat; it's a revolution in the world of sailing. By combining wind propulsion with the Aeroforce wing, electric motorisation, and hydrogeneration, as well as 70 m" of solar panels, it offers sailing without CO2 emissions.

This pioneering project embodies our vision of sustainable, environmentally-friendly yachting.
