Inside Life on an IMOCA: No Comfort, No Rest, No Privacy, Just Racing

Sailing an IMOCA in crewed configuration isn’t just a challenge - it’s a full-body, full-mind battle. 💥 From brutal sleep deprivation to constant motion, noise, and exposure, life onboard is relentless. You’re wet, you’re tired, you’re pushing hard around the clock. There’s no comfort zone. No quiet. No stillness. These boats are built for speed, not for rest and every maneuver takes timing, power, and trust. When you race as a crew, it’s a whole new level of coordination and endurance. This is high-performance offshore racing and it pushes you to the edge.
