    Link to view for those who missed it. The 157-foot UltraLuxum CXL Trimaran which was a big draw at the Monaco Yacht Show, January 2013

    The UltraLuxum CXL, which is the world’s largest sailing trimaran, has outer hulls that fold in for harbor access. The vessel is a stable platform at sea thanks to its impressive beam (the CXL is 75 feet across), but it can be transformed to “just” 36 feet in a matter of minutes, allowing access to a greater range of harbors and marinas.

    UltraLuxum signed a partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies back in May in order to fabricate the technology of its retractable beams. The UltraLuxum CXL comes equipped with a McLaren MP4, which will be housed in a dedicated garage and visible from the owner’s cabin through a wall of glass.
