Pierre 1er was built in 1989 for Florence Arthaud, designed by VPLP design and built by Jeanneau, with the Pierre 1er real-estate group as investor. In 1990 she won the Route du Rhum aboard, and the trimaran also placed 3rd in the Twostar and 5th in the 1991 Trophée des Multicoques.
Around 1993 American Steve Fossett bought her and renamed her Lakota, using her for a series of records; she finished 5th in the 1994 Route du Rhum. A replica was built for the film Waterworld (1995).
In 2000 the Swedish Atlant Group acquired her, and she carried the names Sony, Pindar, Nicator, Tieto Enator L'Oréal, Lakota and then Sjovillan (2008). Sold in 2011 to a French owner based in Hong Kong, she was used as a fast cruiser.
In 2022 Philippe Brillault bought her and brought her back to France, lending her to Philippe Poupon and Géraldine Danon. Renamed Flo, she started the 2022 Route du Rhum (7th in Rhum Multi) and featured in the 2023 film Flo about Florence Arthaud.
