Presentation

In 2021, Armel Tripon announced his intention to take part in the next Vendée Globe at the helm of an IMOCA built using decommissioned carbon fiber, the fruit of collaboration with the Airbus Technocentre in Nantes.

Two years later, this project has become a reality, and construction began a few days ago at DUQUEINE Atlantique in Loire-Atlantique. Based on a VPLP design and draped in the mold of Boris Herrmann's boat, this monohull will carry the sporting ambitions of a skipper determined to demonstrate that it is possible to combine performance and eco-responsibility, and all the energy and commitment of the P'tits Doudous caregivers who will give their name to the boat, supported by a whole group of companies committed to the association.
