Test my I.M.O.C.A's to the start of the Vendee Globe 2024.

Model NO. 2024 - This is a re-launch on the subject of my own IMOCA's Designs, from 2020, up to the Vendee Globe 2024.

MODEL 2024

I have neglected the issue for many other reasons, but I have not stopped drawing developments as I 

observed the evolution of the Class in 2023 to 2024. 

For earlier designed versions; please, 

Search: IMOCA

You will see a list of writing and Designs materials dedicated to that previous period of time.

-Now, I will reopen the dialogue with the last Model drafted in 2024.

Note: I will introduce TEXT a little later. (TO BE CONTINUED).

Tanton Yacht Design is 50 years old!

 

Very hard to believe. 

- From being 27 years old to now, and to the future.

- Making, in my field one of the oldest Design Firm in America. Sparkman and Stephens being the "doyen".

- Yes, I work mostly by myself, but at times I had very good helpers to contribute my wayward ways of going about things. 

Steve Baker of Jamestown and Jeremy McGeary come to mind. Very good indeed on the Design side.

I am not mentioning people involved with my Boat Building and Brokerage Ventures. Lets say that I also got involved with 3 start ups, others entities about boats, material and construction.

Ticonderoga.

Fun Time on Big Ti.

Marc Lombard.

- C'est avec tristesse que J'ai appris la mort de Marc Lombard.

- Lombard Yacht Design a été depuis 1982 une force dans le petit monde des architectes dessinant 

essentiellement pour la Plaisance.

- J'ai eu le plaisir de le rencontrer en Belgique a l'époque de la construction de Cote d'Or pour Eric Tabarly 

et de mon propre Desperado par le chantier Amtec. Lui meme ayant a Catamaran de 40' en lancement.

-Plus tard, j'ai pris connaissance d'un grand  bateau de charter base sur la coque de vendredi 13 utilisée 

comme moule.

- Mais aussi avec la gentillesse de me fournir quelques plans de details d'un Catamaran Privilege, lequel 

je devais rallonger d'une manière importante.
