BANQUE POPULAIRE X
It is difficult to find a better track record among the old generation IMOCA boats. Winner of the Vendée Globe in 2012-2013 with the colours of MACIF and François Gabart as skipper, this IMOCA60 has also won the Route du Rhum twice, with François Gabart first, and with Paul Meilhat and SMA in 2018. The Banque Populaire team has chosen not to equip it with foils for the next Vendée Globe because the boat can already speed away in all conditions and has proved its reliability. Moreover, the learning process might have been too challenging for the skipper. Will this stop the winner boat of the Vendée Globe 2012 from playing at the forefront ? It’s very unlikely.
