On Sunday starts the Vendée Globe: 33 skippers will sail solo non-stop without assistance around the world.
Their boats (IMOCA Class) have significantly improved last years with 2 majors evolutions:
📌 Foils: kind of wings that help boats to "flight" reducing the friction with water to increase their speed
📌 Closed cockpits: the most one being the HUGO BOSS from Alex Thomson mainly because of the speed increase.
With those evolutions, the first ones are expected to close this race in less than 70 days using only wind.
That's #sustainablemobility !
Let's dream about other mobility evolving at the same pace (bike for example).
