Etrena Royal Quartz, has been build for the 1980 OSTAR.
Jean Marie Vidal had choiced Dick Newick has designer but when the boat has been
begon to build , he has had a different opinion abd the building crew decide ti
finish the boat without Dick and against his opinion they move the boat from a
schooner with twoo akas to a sloop with with three crossoarms.In the building
crew was Christian Augé ( later he will build Fumée noire and teach a lot of
things to Denis Kergomar about proa design) . Christian sail the boat crossing
atlantic to achieve the preparation of the boat before the race here in France?
It has been one of the faster ocean passage , unoffficial! it was just a passage
to deliver the boat to the owner.
Un fortunatly the mast has been build to fast, and break during the race, also
the skipper has had some money problem and prefer get the money of the insurance
to achieve the payment of the boat and than the boat has been abandonned at sea
without real reason and losted.
