The 2m class was the first class created for multihull racing and was first promoted in France. The rules are simple, catamarans or trimarans are allowed and are limited to 2m length and width with 2.8m maximum mast height and unrestricted sail area. This class produces magnificent looking craft, very stable on the water but difficult to handle on shore. The boats promise to be the fastest boats on the water less than 2000 mm long.
