Quick Facts Development, Designer ...

This is the designer and builders first IMOCA 60 and it incorporates a lot of thinking of the designer Mini 6.5 and Class 40 yachts. It is the first SCOW design hull and had a different approach to the foil configuration than all the other designs. The main difference being the ability to retract the foils.

The boat was the last to be completed for the 2020 Vendee Globe but the hull moulds were then used for Initiative Coeur 4 and OceansLab.
