Fabrication of the beams and the central pod of the AC Class Test boat for Groupama Team France for the 35th America's Cup.

The AC Class Test boat is a catamaran designed exclusively for training and whose existence is short lived but crucial in terms of development for Groupama Team France. This foil prototype will navigate in Brittany's waters, in order to allow the team to validate the technical choices; but also and above all to pursue the developments and make decisions regarding the construction of future parts and other systems that will end up on the AC Class boat. At the end of 2016, the AC Class Test boat will be retired in favor of the AC Class boat which will take over a major part of its structure except the hulls.
