Spindrift Racing, Maxi Spindrift 2 relaunched after refit

From the following press release on Spindrift Racing's website:

http://www.spindrift-racing.com/2013/07/maxi-spindrift-2-launched-this-afternoon/

Spindrift 2, the largest racing trimaran in the world has been launched at Lorient this afternoon (Tuesday, July 9). Yann Guichard, co-skipper with Dona Bertarelli of the giant multihull, has overseen the technical team and the delicate operation of leaving the boatyard; the hoisting and launching of the boat have required at least twenty people.

Spindrift 2 was officially unveiled with a new livery on July 2 at the Keroman naval boatyard, the submarine base at Lorient, and has since been prepared to enter the water. The giant of the seas, holder of the Jules Verne Trophy and many other speed records, had its mast fitted immediately after the launch.
