FIRST TO FINISH - 2013 TRANSPAC!

TRITIUM is a modified ORMA Trimaran - stretched to 72 feet. Originally built by offshore veteran, Jean Le Cam, the boat was updated by Artemis Racing for testing of AC wing and dagger foils. The boat was heavily modified - with floats lengthened to 72 feet - and cross beams reinforced, for the new loads.

TRITIUM recently competed in the 2013 Transpac, where it was First-to-Finish and had the fastest elapsed time. It remains one of the fastest offshore vessels in the Pacific - and is ready for new record attempts.

Here they are ! In 5 days, 11 h 52 min 38 s...great performance regarding the collisions the boat has had to suffer. Well done guys !

72' modified ORMA 60 trimaran being prepared for Transpac by Tritium Racing

Tritium Racing are refitting the ex Artemis AC test trimaran for an attempt at the LA to Honolulu Transpacific record.  You can follow their rebuild of the 72' trimaran at the address below.  This trimaran has quite an interesting history originally being the ORMA trimaran Bonduelle constructed for Jean Le Cam later being renamed Gitana XII.  It's great to see this boat live on and take on new challenges.
