The Multi One Design (MOD70) programme was launched in 2009 by Swiss sailor Stève Ravussin and Swiss entrepreneur Marco Simeoni, both from the canton of Vaud. Designed by the naval architects VPLP, these 70-foot one-design trimarans were meant to succeed the 60-foot ORMA trimarans.
Seven boats were launched between March 2011 and April 2012. They are 21.2 m long and 16.8 m wide, with a 4.5 m draft, a 29 m air draft and a displacement of 6.3 tonnes; sail area is 310 m² upwind and 409 m² downwind. The class is run by the company Multi One Design S.A. and limits the fleet to twelve teams at most, with no more than four per country.
The class circuit has included the Krys Ocean Race (a transatlantic race), a European Tour, La Route des Princes and the Transat Jacques-Vabre. Some sailors raised concerns about the boats' stability: Sidney Gavignet said he had "a one-in-two chance of capsizing".
