https://velaboatworks.com/ We pulled the Vela 368 Catamaran out of the shop for a quick clean. At this stage, she's got high build primer on the gunnel cap. The console and helm seat are fastened in place. Now we are about to take her out for a spin to see how she rides with the extra weight.
What does it really take to build a winning IMOCA? Long before launch day, before the first sail is hoisted or the stopwatch starts, a new boat is shaped by countless questions, bold ideas, and fine margins. With its upcoming docu-series Born to Race, Team Malizia invites you behind the scenes of its next IMOCA build. Filmed throughout the construction process, the series follows the human, technical, and strategic journey of creating a top-performance racing yacht. From hull shape to sail design, from ergonomics that guide every movement onboard to the many layers of electronics, the team and their external experts explore the possibilities, imagining the options and challenges that lie ahead. Rather than simple build updates, Born to Race reveals the questions that drive the project: how a vision becomes reality, how experience fuels innovation, and how lessons from past campaigns shape the future. Published every last Wednesday of the month, the series captures the intensity, creativity, and collaboration behind a build that unfolds over time, leading towards the launch of Team Malizia’s future IMOCA in early summer 2026. 🎬 Episode 1 airs on Wednesday 28 January 2026, marking the start of a new chapter for Team Malizia, one that starts long before the boat hits the water.

Elegant form. Powerful function. Unmatched fun. Experience it all aboard a Oceanis Yacht 54. -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 140 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
