NEWREST - ART & FENÊTRES
Newrest – Art & Fenêtres is the former Vento di Sardegna, a state-of-the-art VPLP-Verdier design which was originally intended for Italian Andrea Mura before his sponsors threw in the towel. Built in Italy at Persico Marine and launched in the summer of 2015, it is sold to Dutch Peter Heerema who renamed it No Way Back and finished his solo round-the-world in 2016-2017 at 17th place. This latest-generation foiler is a sistership of Armel Le Cléac’h’s Banque Populaire, winner of the last Vendée Globe. Since the summer of 2017, the foiler has been bought by Fabrice Amedeo and taken 12th position in the Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe race.
