Kriter IV was a 66-foot waterline length trimaran which was sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1979.[2] It was designed entirely of aluminum by Xavier Joubert as an extension of Eric Tabarly's Manureva and constructed by the French shipyard Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie (CMN) for Olivier de Kersauson.[1]

It competed in the Route du Rhum in 1978, finishing fourth and achieving speeds of over 30 knots (55.56 kilometres (34.52 miles) per hour).[3]
