Designed by VPLP and built by CDK Technologies, this Ocean Fifty (formerly Multi50) trimaran was launched on 4 October 2017 in the colours of Ciela Village. It is presented as the first Multi50 designed with foils, and features X-shaped crossbeams.
On its first race, the 2017 Transat Jacques-Vabre, Thierry Bouchard and Oliver Krauss retired after cracks appeared in the central hull. About a month later, during a delivery off Portugal, the boat collided with a fishing vessel. In 2018 Thierry Bouchard finished 5th in the Multi50 category of the Route du Rhum. In 2020, entrusted to Erwan Le Roux, the trimaran won the Trophée des Multicoques in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc.
In 2021 it became Leyton, with Sam Goodchild at the helm: it won the Pro Sailing Tour and took 3rd in the Transat Jacques-Vabre with Aymeric Chappellier. After a winter refit (new mast and central rudder) and relaunch in February 2022, it won the 1000 milles des Sables-d'Olonne, but Sam Goodchild retired from the 2022 Route du Rhum for medical reasons one hour after the start.
At the end of 2022 the company Viabilis bought the boat, entrusted to Pierre Quiroga, then to Baptiste Hulin in 2024. The latter finished 2nd in the 2024 Terre-Neuvas and won the 2025 Transat Café L'Or in a double-handed crew with Thomas Rouxel.
