Small figures hoist huge high-tech sails from springy trampolines. Which are strung between SVR Lazartigue's slender hulls.
The powered halyard winches are carefully controlled, by watchful eyes beneath the jet fighter style cockpit canopy.
As the Ultim trimaran prepares for sea, in the light airs of yesterday morning. Before the walls of Concarneau's Ville Close.
Meercat heads appear through hatches. Blinking in the bright sunshine.
Before burrowing back into the dark recesses of the floats. Which house the complex foil control hydraulics, required to keep SVR airborne at forty knots.
If our luck is in, Stargazer may have fleet-footed company during today's passage east. (Written before setting sail.)
