IMOCA

INSIDE is the new IMOCA series that takes you… inside our sailors’ boats!

🥽An exclusive deep dive to uncover what makes each boat unique – and all their little secrets. 💪

And who better to guide us than the people who know them inside out: the technical teams. These behind-the-scenes wizards know every inch of these racing machines.

Today, it's Rebecca Sainson, technical director of the IMOCA Holcim-PRB, who takes us on a tour of the boat and its latest upgrades — including the new foils tested during the Course des Caps. 👊
