Biscuits 3 Formula 40 Trimaran

Sailing Development Biscuits 3 was built by CDK in 1988 as Biscuits Cantreau 3. That development lineage culminated in today's MOD-70's and the Ultim Class.

This VPLP designed carbon trimaran won the 1988 and 1989 Formula 40 World Championships. So dominant was her performance that the slower Formula 40 catamarans quit racing, and the F40's (now mostly tris) moved to the Swiss Lakes circuit with turbo'd rigs in the early 1990's, which Biscuits 3 also vanquished. VPLP credits this design as the basis for the ORMA 60 class origins with their Pierre 1er and Primagaz trimarans, which were scaled-up derivatives of Biscuits 3.
