Embracing the offshore experience
Published on January 8th, 2024
The International Monohull Open Class Association manages the tenuous balance between promoting their very elite 60-foot IMOCA offshore boat while encouraging participation amidst the eye-watering expense of competition. While it is imaginable for the Class to evolve toward extinction, there is no sign of that, and their Happy New Year messaging remains positive and inspirational:
For all those who share our passion for the oceans and sailing, each year is a unique adventure. Together, we embrace the passion of rough seas, distant horizons and challenges that push our limits. In 2024, let’s continue our commitment to celebrating our love of sailing, innovation and the team spirit that unites us.
May this new year be filled with favorable winds and benevolent waves. May your projects flourish and your boldest dreams come to life. United in our common passion, let’s make 2024 a memorable year, where solidarity, preserving our environment and surpassing ourselves will be our watchwords.
