Press Release Summary: 70 Sunreef Power is a very special custom yacht destinated to
undergo a round-the-world trip in family, with the very famous french captain,
Laurent Bourgnon, as a captain.

Press Release Body: The first 70 feet long motor catamaran was launched at Sunreef
Yachts Shipyard in Gdansk in June 2008. The exterior was styled by the luxury yacht
designer Denn Clifford, in collaboration with Sunreef constructors and designers.
Sunreef Yachts create custom made yachts, this first unit so-called Expedition
version was conceived for demanding and adventurous clients and destinated to
undergo a round-the-world trip. The emphasis thus is put on efficiency, practical
technical solutions and long range autonomy.

EXPEDITION VERSION
The 70\' Sunreef Power Expedition Version is a perfect yacht for a voyage around the
world with a very distinctive feature, for instance, her fantastic range of 8000
nautical miles while cruising at 8 knots driven by twin Volvo Penta 370 HP engines.
The 70 Sunreef Power Expedition has, as a special option, a fuel capacity of 20000L,
which enables the yacht to cross oceans with the cruising speed equalling 12 knots
and the autonomy of 3000 miles. There are also some innovative changes made
regarding the flybridge, where all furniture is easy to dismantle in order to create
a playing area for children on this huge upper deck.

Sunreef\'s naval architects have created an elegant, performance orientated and safe
yacht with fine entry bows. Sleek and high hulls will enhance fast cruising and easy
wave piercing without requiring strong engine power. Built of epoxy using vacuum
infusion technology and laid out according to owner\'s specification, with the
optimized engines and propellers and very performant hulls, as well as solar panels
and wind propelled alternators, the first power cat by Sunreef is able to navigate
far with relatively low fuel consumption which makes her an environment friendly
vessel.

Owned by the famous french sailor and winner of many international regattas, Laurent
Bourgnon, the 70 Sunreef Power JUMBO is a purpose-built unit for a long, family
voyage.

THE TRAVEL

After a wonderful experience of a 5 year travel round the world with his parents as
a child, Laurent wishes to organize the same adventure for his own children in the
period of one year.
As his children are still very young and not used to sailing and manoeuvring,
Laurent decided to go for a power boat, a lot easier to handle by one person only.
On board comfort was another criterion to accomplish by Sunreef in-house designers,
for the yacht will be from now on their only home for at least a year, and Laurent\'s
youngest son is only three years old and needs some special safety accomodations.

Once departed from Poland, Laurent will sail along the West coast of the old
continent and will call at Cap Vert Islands. After crossing the Atlantic, they will
arrive to Bresil and later to Argentina, to Patagonia precisely, where they will
take part in a french travel program featuring travellers to this remote spot rich
in blue icebergs, savage mountains and arctic air.
The next stop of their trip will be Easter Island and then French Polynesia where
they are planning to stay for a longer time. Taking into account that Polynesia is
as big as whole Europe, they are sure to discover many beautiful, heveanly places.
Soon more details available.
