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

- 1995 Project for the 1996-97 Vendee Globe Race. Designed with a single chine, with straight daggerboards and rotating keel, mast and wishbones.

- With just a year to go before the start of the Vendee Globe, and with the Transat Jacques Vabre underway, let's make the point as of now and for the future IMOCAs over the next 12 months. I have no access to files about the newly launched boats and therefore I will start with my own evolution with designs for this very special Class.
- Eventually, with the progress and comments going to be made, I might change my ideas to present a coherent and up to date approach to my own vision.

- Well, this year has been something else? I found myself so busy that, I had no time to follow through the Vendee Globe; in view to write my own vision about the IMOCA evolution. Besides the fact that it is over my head at the moment, having no access to the tooling necessary to elaborate this foiling era for the Class.

- Eventually, I'll get back with my interpretation.

 

-Well ! to late. Pressure at work and the total foils revolution, like 3 times, I have not been able to follow through as I said above. As the boats are approaching the finish line in an unprecedented close racing for the Vendee Globe, I definitely reserve my comments and my own observation about what is going on.
