Banque Populaire VII: IMOCA 60 Foiler
Banque Populaire has been supporting sailing for years in giant Trimarans, now they target an IMOCA 60 designed by VPLP (Top Notch big Multi designers) & Guillaume Verdier (TNZ & Groupama C-Class). In a sense (and outside the IMOCA Class) trying to optimize monos to the limit may reach a dead end where the next step is just going with Multis for more speed.
Will try to contact VPLP on this one. Thanks Tibo for the link

...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.

Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
