Now for something completely different

Armel Tripon said his IMOCA would be different and he wasn’t kidding. Designed by Class40 guru Sam Manuard, the boat sports a bow as scow-like as the rules allow, has considerably less beam than all other IMOCAs, includes a lot of rocker in the bow area along with a strange transom and huge foils. This boat is going where no IMOCA had gone before. Details.
