MG5 is a 52-foot racer-cruiser catamaran conceived by Marc Guillemot and designed by Christophe Barreau and Frédéric Neuman. Multiplast built the floats in Vannes, while Guillemot's own outfit in Saint-Philibert made the beams and deck support; the hulls are glass-epoxy, with only the beams in carbon. The aim was a fast boat that stays safe above 20 knots, comfortable and built with an eco-responsible approach.
Racing as Metarom MG5, Marc Guillemot finished 3rd in the Rhum Multi category of the 2022 Route du Rhum, in 16 days 17 hours 51 minutes.
For the 2026 Route du Rhum the catamaran was renamed Dazeilad (Breton for "alternative") and entered in the new Vintage Multi category. Guillemot fitted it with reused parts: the rig of Jean Le Cam's IMOCA, Damien Seguin's daggerboards and the rudders of a former Jérémie Beyou boat. The boat arrived in Saint-Malo ahead of the start in October 2026.
