Over the winter, the Vendée Globe sailors treated us to a thrilling competition and their ability to share the values of solidarity really appealed to the public.
Adversaries out on the water, these IMOCA skippers and their teams form a solid group, which also works hard, year-round, on the evolution of their sport and their machine. In this way, over the course of the round the world race, the future of the current boats and their next iterations has been taking shape behind the scenes. Coordinated by the IMOCA Class (International Monohull Open Class Association), the Technical Committee which currently represents fifteen teams, has been putting forward, studying and debating the Class Rules 2021-25, all of which gained approval on 15 April 2021.
