New and used IMOCA boats for sale (Sailing Boats)

The International Monohull Open Class Association (IMOCA) was originally established in 1991 as a class association governing the design, manufacturing, and competitive sailing of high-performance monohull yachts. The formation of IMOCA was a landmark development in the world of ocean racing, as it sought to standardise yacht specifications for fairness and safety across a rapidly growing field of international competitors. The association was instrumental in the inception and regulation of key offshore racing events such as the Vendée Globe, which has since become one of the most prestigious single-handed round-the-world yacht races.Throughout its history, IMOCA has continually adapted its rules and regulations to promote technological innovation while ensuring the safety and competitiveness of its participants. The yachts, often referred to as IMOCA 60s due to their 60-foot length, are renowned for integrating cutting-edge materials and design principles, including hydrofoils and other advancements aimed at maximizing speed and stability. As such, the organisation holds a pivotal role in pushing the boundaries of marine engineering and sailing proficiency.Today, IMOCA is headquartered in Lorient, France, a prominent hub for ocean racing and sailing innovation. The association continues to oversee the design and construction standards for its class of yachts, ensuring adherence to its rigorous safety and performance regulations. Nestled in a region synonymous with sailing excellence, IMOCA not only supports the sport's elite by hosting and regulating world-class events but also contributes to the broader sailing community by sharing expertise and fostering technological development.
