After 11 years of goals that have entered the history of ocean navigation and more than 200,000 miles covered, the collaboration between Giovanni Soldini and Maserati around the project of the monohull Maserati VOR70 and later through trimaran Maserati Multi70, which brought foiling technology to the ocean, being the first to mount a foil under the keel, comes to an end.
Over the decade Soldini and his team have set nine new records on historic routes and participated in 27 regattas around the world, a statement said Sunday. Maserati Multi70 also remains the only MOD to have sailed around the world. And not just once, but four times (once on the monohull and three times on Maserati Multi70), the last of which, in 2023, in full energy independence thanks to the installation on board of a photovoltaic system and an electric engine. As a result, Maserati Multi70 also became the first ocean racing yacht capable of self-producing all the energy needed for long sailing.
Since 2022 the trimaran has been at the service of Unesco's monitoring programme, and has contributed along its routes to the collection of data such as CO2, salinity and temperature, which are very valuable for the scientific community.
Soldini, said: "It has been an exciting, adventurous experience full of discoveries, conquests, innovations and flights over the ocean. With the invaluable support of Maserati, it has been possible to experiment at the highest level and go further with feats and results that we are proud of. I would like to thank the Maserati team and all the partners who have accompanied us on this journey of over two hundred thousand miles. Lastly, a special thanks to all the people on the crew who over these years have contributed with passion and competence to achieve beautiful and important goals with me."
