Originally designed to blast around the world non-stop and solo every fours years, the IMOCA scene and its racing calendar has exploded to the point that there is almost too much choice for teams. But this year something else was bubbling beneath. New designs for the next Vendée cycle are starting to appear and along with them, new names on the leaderboard. So, we take a look at how this race played out for the IMOCA fleet as they wrestled with the tactics and what the top dogs thought about it once they had reached the other side. here's the trailer.
iFLY15 hydrofoil catamaran foiling stable even in extreme conditions. Dramatic pictures when strong wind front was coming over the regatta field of 50ème Grand Prix de L'Armistice Bordeaux, Carcans-Maubuisson. Catamaran sailing on the limit, and beyond. For many catamaran sailors it was capsizing day… For some seconds, when the first strong gusts came in, it was actually pritty scary, with 90% of the fleet capsizing within seconds. People screeming, quite some material braking...all running away from the storm. (The audio of the video is life recorded by my action cam, by the way...) I was able to fly my iFLY stable even in these extreme conditions. High speed foiling above the waves, in some really strong wind with heavy gusts. Speed was insane! And I was bearing away until wind was close to from behind (while apparent wind was still like upwind). Some exciting foiling under extreme conditions, made possible by advanced technology. „ We love SPEED while keeping CONTROL " ____________________ https://iFLYsail.com #iFLY15 #FoilingCatamaran #CatamaranVolant #WeLoveSpeed #WhileKeepingControl #HydrofoilSailing #CatamaranCapsize
