The IMOCA Les P’tits Doudous will hit the road on December 17!
A year and a few months after laying the first layer of recycled carbon at DUQUEINE Atlantique, Armel Tripon and the entire Les P’tits Doudous team are preparing for a particularly significant moment as the hull leaves the shipyard where it was built and begins its journey by road to Saint-Philibert (56).
In Morbihan, just a stone's throw from the port of La Trinité-sur-Mer, where it will be based, the first IMOCA built for the 2028 Vendée Globe will undergo final preparations in the coming weeks, ahead of its scheduled launch next spring.
