A true veteran of the Vendée Globe, which is considered the pinnacle of shorthanded offshore racing, this Farr-designed daggerboard IMOCA 60 carries an extraordinary legacy. Launched in 2007 for the Barcelona World Race, she has subsequently forged her own path in ocean racing history by participating in multiple editions of the Vendée Globe, winning the Route du Rhum, setting a solo transatlantic record, and securing podium finishes in prestigious offshore races.

This yacht has been helmed by an impressive lineup of world-class skippers, including Sébastien Josse, Roland Jourdain, Alex Thomson, Guillermo Altadill, and Benjamin Dutreux. Her performance history highlights her speed, resilience, and reliability, from winning the Route du Rhum in 2010 to achieving a third-place finish in the 2012-2013 Vendée Globe.



Currently on her seventh circumnavigation as 'Freelance.com' with Guirec Soudée, she continues to exhibit exceptional performance and endurance. Whether you seek a proven IMOCA for your next campaign or a renowned vessel ready for new challenges, this yacht provides a foundation for establishing a successful sailing career.
