Taking on a foiling IMOCA is part of that vision. It\u2019s faster, more demanding, and it pushes me out of my comfort zone.

It&#8217;s time for us to start a new one, to look ahead and focus on the 2028 edition, and we&#8217;re very proud to see Scott and Canada Ocean Racing acquire our boat. We hope they&#8217;ll push it just as hard and enjoy it as much as I did. I&#8217;m happy to know that this boat has a new owner for the Vend\u00e9e Globe 2028.
