Tornado presentation

The Tornado, the king of 20th century sport catamarans

With a length of just over 6 metres and a width of 3 metres, the Tornado is a terribly efficient machine on a course between 3 buoys. Since 1996 the Tornado has been equipped with a spinnaker, a horn mainsail, a battened jib and a double trapeze.

The platform has been adapted to this new equipment, and is very similar to that of a Formula 18: a rigid or fabric spinnaker swallower is fitted along the spinnaker pole, a self-tacking jib track has been fitted on the forward beam, footstraps have been fitted at the rear of the floats to prevent the helmsman and crew from flying downwind.

An alliance of power and finesse, the Tornado is undoubtedly the fastest and most spectacular sports catamaran before they were fitted with foils!

For the crew, the ideal weight is 145 kilos.
