Vendredi 13.

- A visionary boat by Jean-Yves Terlain, financed by Claude Lelouch of "A Man and a Woman" fame, designed by Carter Offshore and built by Tecimar at St. Nazaire, France.

- At 128', V13 was at the time the longest single-handed boat in the world. She is, in her original configuration, the lightest fiberglass, at 30T. (66000lbs.) Pleasure boat ever built. One of the first large resin-infused vessels in the world. Also, the most bang for the buck in the history of sailing. Budget $360,000.00 on a turnkey contract, and 6 months to design and build this one-of-a-kind vessel.
