Imocas are 60-foot monohulls designed for major ocean races such as the Vendée Globe (the “Everest of the Seas”), the Ocean Race, the Route du Rhum, the Transat Jacques Vabre, etc. They can reach speeds of almost 40 knots (70km/h) perched on their foils… True masterpieces, unique in their technology, architecture and implementation, they are to sailing what Formula 1 cars are to motoring. These yachts are the result of highly advanced engineering research in every field: hull shape, strength of materials, computer technology, and they are designed to withstand extreme wind and sea conditions… Take up the challenge, dare, innovate In collaboration with the best engineering firms in the world, and under the supervision of architect Sam Manuard, Black Pepper Yachts has already built 3 Imocas, all of which will be lining up at the start of the 2024 Vendée Globe; that is almost 10% of the fleet… A remarkable success, since today’s leading skippers have chosen to take up this incredible challenge aboard one of our boats.
