IMOCA

IMOCA are 60-foot (18.28 m) boats built to race on the Vendée Globe. These yachts are designed for solo sailing even if they sometimes race in crews. The gauge limits some characteristics, but architects can let their imagination run wild. This year, boats equipped with foils were launched. A world first on monohulls.
