Not a lot of commentary is needed, there are his and the boat’s noises to speak of, there are the thousands of liters of water passing over the deckhouse and sliding towards the stern to explain life aboard anImoca 60 foiler, the boats that will be featured in the 2020-2021 Vendée Globe. In this video we are on board MACSF with Isabelle Joschke and Morgan Lagraviere. The hissing sound you hear in the background are the foils slicing through the water, the almost metallic noises are those of carbon going into resonance when you let go of a sheet. This is the life that Vendée Globe skippers will live for atmenp 70 days straight during the nonstop, unassisted round-the-world race.
