and just saw this shot from a different angle, not looking very vinylie...
THE IMOCA thread, single/double handed & TOR
- Thread starter Fiji Bitter
- Start date
Alex Thomson partnering with Scott Shawyer in a new IMOCA team “Canada Ocean Racing”.
More in YW: https://www.yachtingworld.com/all-l...ks-rookie-canada-ocean-racing-campaign-140111
Starting off with a daggerboard IMOCA - not clear which boat?
And aiming for the 2028 VG. Too late to enter for 2024, or reckon they need 6 years to train up?
ETA: Seems a shame Alex couldn’t do something working with a British skipper… but I am a little biased

Legacy boat looks pretty smart. No idea of boat's history, at this stage.
This must be this boat, ex-ACCIONA, ex-offshore team Germany.

A SUMMER OF SAILORS - EPISODE 4 : ISABELLE JOSCHKE
Every Friday, from July 29 to August 19, Tip & Shaft offers its summer series called A Summer of Sailors. We have indeed chosen to rebroadcast four episodes of Into The Wind where we find women who go on the sea in race, solo or crew.
And if we have chosen to highlight women this summer, it is because Tip & Shaft launches at the end of September a new podcast dedicated to women in racing. Called "Navigantes", it will be hosted by Hélène Cougoule and will give the floor to all those who race, offshore or between three buoys, alone or in a crew.
Fourth and last guest of Un été de navigatrices, Isabelle Joschke, with an episode of Into The Wind (number 44) recorded in October 2021 in Lorient.
The former student at La Sorbonne, who embarked on sailing via les Glénans and then in offshore racing on the Mini circuit, was then preparing to take the start of her first Vendée Globe aboard MACSF, a VPLP-Verdier plan launched in 2007 under the name of Safran, equipped with large foils for the occasion. Vendée Globe that she will be forced to abandon during the ascent of the South Atlantic, victim of a keel damage, she has however completed her journey, bringing her boat back to port.
A boat on which she has since embarked on a new campaign for the Vendée Globe 2024 under the colors of the same partner, placing 5th at the beginning of the season in the Guyader Bermuda 1000 Race before giving up on the approach to Iceland during the Vendée Arctic Les Sables d'Olonne. Next objective for the Franco-German: the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe.

Isabelle has been fast in recent open events. Pretty unlucky with gear failure too. She's a strong contender.

Painting is probably the least of the refit they did when they took it from solo to crew, and will once again do from crew to solo after TOR. It’s not a big deal.

These rocket ships are being sailed very flat, aren't they Terra. Both athwartship and with bugger all pitch.
Might be time to ditch one of those rudders, eh?

Boxy, looks like Corum/Paprec. Is it Juan K?

Guillaume Verdier, IIRC. Maybe a bit of AC75 DNA in this one.

100% looks like the hull has been optimised to fly asap..! Not as extreme as the AC75's but you can see it.
There are quite a bit of new boats in this cycle, but not so much "brand new design/molds", Paul Meilhat was talking of "new old boats" in last tip & shaft podcast.
Btw his new boat launching video :
Typically, only the new Charal and Malizia (not even sure for Malizia) are from new molds, otherwise :
Biotherm : same mold as current Advens (Thomas Ruyant)
Initiatives Coeur (Sam) : same mold as current Bureau vallée (ex l'occitane)
PRB/holcim : already built hull, same mold as IIth hour ?
Maitre coq (Bestaven) : same mold as 11th hour
But the new Apivia and T Ruyant boat will be brand new designs from what I understand.
(but then again, the hull is far from being the only thing in a new boat. But let's see how the "next together" Charal rudders will perform for foiling stabilisation, the only major innovation in this cycle somehow, up till now)
