Thank you all very much for watching, liking and sharing my previous Vendee pre-fun overview and commentary. In this new episode I decided it might be fun to dive into some of the core aspects of the 2020 “super” IMOCA class boats participating in the Vendee Globe 2020 race. What are the key feautures which set these modern sea space ships apart from the previous generation boats? And what are some of the ideas and principles behind these unique solutions and technology?

I hope you will enjoy my insights and opinions (I’m not claiming to be an expert, just an interested sailor and fellow tech nerd, who likes to explore these fascinating machines. If you have any feedback or ideas for future reports, please let me know in the comments below.
