The boats of the Vendée Globe all measure 18,28 m long (60 feet) for a 4,50 m draught. With a large sail area, they are the most powerful monohulls of the planet led by a solo skipper. They can go beyond 30 knots in downwind conditions. The gauge of these race animals is defined by the IMOCA class (International Monohull Open Class Association), founded in 1991 and supported by World Sailing, the International Sailing Federation. 40 boats will leave Les Sables d’Olonne, only one will win.
