Taken at European Cup at Moze, France.
The red boat (N° 01) is Body and Soul, sailed to First Place by Robbie Nevitt (GBR).
Mike Howell had fitted the carbon beams when Robbe bought it from him but had not sailed it.
Robbie added a stiffer carbon mast mounted through the deck. The sail shown in the picture
is the second suit.  It is a mk1 design on the maxi 200,
designed by Loic Madec at first, and built in moulds owned by Club de Thiasi.
Eric Messan made the central hull and the floats.

In the background is Ian Jay's boat (N° 3). Ian finished in 8th place.
It's a mk2 maxi 200, the wing booms being half set on the deck of the floats
 and the central hull, instead of being just under the deck level as in the mk1 design.
The sails are also very well designed.
