Vendée Globe

The fastest monohulls in the world.

Designed for shorthanded ocean racing, the IMOCA or International Monohull Open Class Association 60 is the development class used for all pinnacle solo and double handed ocean races, including the Vendée Globe, Route du Rhum and Transat Jacques Vabre.

These boats are some of the fastest in the world, and as the IMOCA Class Rule is an ‘open’ rule, use some of the most advanced technology in the search for performance and reliability. In fact the first line of the rule book states that ‘anything which is not expressly forbidden, restricted or enforced is permitted’.
