Currently she is owned by Dona Bertarelli & Spindrift Racing and sponsored by Mirabaud Group, Zenith and Genes-X.

In 2010 the boat was stationed in Brest, awaiting a weather opening to beat the Jules Verne Trophy record (circumnavigation of the world), held since 2010 by Franck Cammas and the multihull Groupama 3.

[6] The original 47 m mast was shortened by 6m for Yann Guichard to manage the boat single-handedly in the 2014 Route du Rhum, in which he achieved a second place in line honours.

On 22 November 2015 it started in a direct race with IDEC Sport and finished just 2 days slower than the current JVT record.

[7] The first 2019 JVT attempt started well under Yann Guichard when they broke the record between Ushant and the Equator (4d 19h 57') but they had to retire in Australia with a broken rudder stock.
