Paul Ricard was a hydrofoiled trimaran. In 1980, Éric Tabarly sailed the vessel to beat Charlie Barr's transatlantic record on Atlantic, which had stood for 75 years.[http://www.sailingworld.com/racing/eric-tabarly Eric Tabarly, an inspiration to distance sailors], Sailing World{{cite book|title=Sail Performance|author=C.

He was sailing a very different kind of craft: a 46 feet LWL hydrofoiled trimaran Paul Ricard, which made the crossing in 10 days 5 hours 14 minutes 20 seconds.}}
