INSIDE | Step inside the IMOCA Initiatives-Cœur with the team 👀
In this video, step aboard with Vittoria RIPA DI MEANA, technician for the Initiatives-Cœur team and crew member for the upcoming Course des Caps, for a unique behind-the-scenes tour of the IMOCA!
She opens the boat’s doors and walks us through the interior layout, specially designed for offshore racing: navigation station, bunks, technical equipment… You won’t miss a thing!
👉 Who is Vitto? Passionate and committed, she plays a key dual role both ashore and at sea: technician in charge of boat preparation, she will also be racing in the Course des Caps alongside Sam Davies, Violette Dorange, and Joseph Brault.
📌 A deep dive into life on board an IMOCA, where performance meets ingenuity — not to be missed!

•••Thomas Ruyant: “I will not be at the start of the next Route du Rhum”
