Hello everyone, this looks simply amazing. I want to add a thing: it is an incredible challenge of engineering to make solid boats to cross the oceans that can also fly like a bird on the water. That’s why I love them.

Awesome videos! I'd kill to go out in an IMOCA 60. Such an agile piece of engineering
Wow! I’ve been looking at a lot of yachts lately, and I know that they vary in terms of speed and looks, but the IMOCA 60 is a great looking option! Thanks for sharing these videos – they give a really good look at what these have to offer and they’re a good jumping off point when it comes to researching these boats.
