World's Fastest Yacht, Esimit Europa 2, Officially Launched in Cannes, France
CANNES, FRANCE: The highly anticipated Esimit Europa 2 yacht has been introduced to the global audience at its christening ceremony, which was attended by numerous business leaders and project supporters.
• The 30-meter long and 44-meter high giant is the fastest yacht in the world.
Under the patronage of Jose Manuel Barroso, the President of the European Commission, the yacht is building upon its 15-year tradition of connecting European nations.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Slovenian Igor Simcic, the yacht's owner and Esimit Europa project General Manager, outlined the team's goals, which will compete in the 5 most prestigious European regattas as an ambassador of the European Energy movement.
The 26-member crew will man one of world's most advanced yachts. The plan is to achieve an overall victory in all attended regattas. "Nothing in the Esimit Europa project is left to coincidence. Representing the entire Europe is a great honor and a great responsibility. I am glad that the yacht has become a symbol for the united Europe, a symbol that is sorely lacking. Each victory will therefore strengthen the pride in being a European and we will not be ashamed to raise the European flag as we cross the finish line," briefly explained Igor Simcic.
