ALL ACCESS #3 with Sam Davies
This week, we boarded the IMOCA Initiatives-Cœur with Sam Davies for a 24-hour training session. The objective was to sail in a fleet, alongside the Pôle Finistère Course au Large, and to familiarize ourselves with solo navigation in preparation for the first race of the season: The Transat CIC.
Let's delve into the exciting preparations for the @VendéeGlobe. For the IMOCA skippers, the year 2024 holds paramount importance, marking the culmination of their efforts. Solo circumnavigation stands as their ultimate ambition, and setting sail signifies their first victory.
ALL ACCESS is the new web series produced by IMOCA in partnership with Harken. Its aim: to immerse you in the world of skippers and the behind-the-scenes of their teams throughout the year, at the heart of their intense preparation for the major challenge awaiting them at the end of the year.
