IMOCA, update on the launch of the new boats
Kevin Escoffier and the PRB team launched the first IMOCA of the latest generation in May 2022. This Verdier design, originally designed for The Ocean Race, crewed round the world race, was already under construction at the Persico Marine shipyard when it was chosen by the skipper. A choice made to save time. Transformed for solo sailing, the new PRB is a versatile boat and has a large bow, a new trend on the IMOCA circuit.
