This expertise continues today, and GOIOT innovates by offering custom-made products and endless possibilities of finishes. GOIOT’s favourite metal is aluminium: as a leading material in sustainable development, it paves the way to the ships of the future, allowing weight savings and positively impacting their carbon footprint. Its price, durability and exceptional recyclability make it the perfect material for marine applications.

This year, the Océan Développement shipyard plans to launch the first catamaran of the MODX 70 series, a catamaran combining sail and engine propulsion that will revolutionize the world of yachting: 100 per cent electric, 100 per cent renewable energy for unlimited offshore sailing.

Almost a century separates these two great entrepreneurial adventures, but today one common goal binds them together: to make the yachting world more sustainable and respectful of the marine environment.

In terms of innovation, what does the MODX 70 catamaran project represent for GOIOT?
