Unveiling of the new Arkea-Paprec Imoca
Courage, tenacity, team spirit.
We have always upheld the values of sailing. With our new skipper, Sébastien Simon, Paprec and Arkea have unveiled the new boat, which will be on the starting line of the Vendée Globe 2020.
The boat underwent seven months of assembly in Port-La-Forêt, a job 100% managed by the team headed by Vincent Riou.
This is the third boat built for the Vendée Globe by this winner of the 2004 race. The 60-footer was designed by French-Argentine architect, Juan Kouyoumdjian.
