It’s not every day you get to board a state-of-the-art Imoca 60 foiler, and especially to do so in the company of one of Italy’s best ocean sailors. We were aboard Allagrande Mapei, the Imoca 60 with which Beccaria is tackling the sporting project that will take him all the way to Vendée Globe 2028.
Our Mauro Giuffrè talks about what it’s like to live aboard these ocean-going behemoths, how the cockpit works, and of course he then leaves the floor to Ambrogio Beccaria who tells us an initial review of these months in Imoca 60.
