The Class operated for 10 years under a naming rights and sponsorship
arrangement with Champagne Mumm. Due to corporate reorganizations and a sale of
the Champagne Mumm brand the arrangement was not renewed. After operating as the
M30 Class on an interim basis, the Class is very pleased to announce its new
name, reuniting the image of the Class with the original designer of this very
successful One Design boat.
