- 13 year old Lake Leman Ruban Bleu record also broken !
Decision 35s catamarans Smart Home and Julius Baer set a new time for the 13 year old record of the Bol d’Or course, between Geneva and le Bouveret (and back). This prestigious record is called the Ruban Bleu.
Smart Home’s crew decided to start their record attempt this morning at 10:30, soon after the arrival of the strong northerly breeze. Their goal was to benefit from a good angle while avoiding big waves when beating against the wind. Julius Baer started five minutes later while Cadence – another D 35 had already been on her way for 15 minutes.
Smart Home was first over the arrival line, completing the 70 mile course in 4 hours 57 minutes and 36 seconds (just four minutes faster than the previous record). But Julius Baer crossed 16 seconds later; having started five minutes later than Smart Home, Julius Baer is the new holder of the record.

After the monohull Ruban Violet record catched in Sept. by the Psaros 40' "Tilt", our office is very proud to have designed both holders, monohull and multihull !
