IMOCA 2024

- Vendee 2024, marching along. If you read my previous meanderings about I.M.O.C.A (trolled down), you know that I am a big fan of the Class. In an effort to follow through, and from my own point of view, I start again the count down towards the next race. 

- So, with your indulgence for my own derivatives, having not submitted some of them in questions to the Class Rules main body; I submit this study. 

- As usual, for competitive sailboats Designs, I start with different 3Ds Models, analyzing the shapes in space. With controlling points being the main object of attention. You have to stroll down to see models from 2019 to 2023 leading to the 2024 event on top of this dissertation.

. I have to make clear that I followed in some instances, the evolution in reality, for what I have been made aware by publication; social media; comments and research.

Giraglia 1964.

- So little is known about the past. This before Social Media, and on an unbelievable scale is now at our finger tip.  

- I recently received this document about the Giraglia Race of 1964. 

- The intensity of yacht racing has not changed, except for the elements of Professional crew and of course the Boats.
