PUSHING EXTREMES

How extreme can offshore racing monohulls get? And when the boats are this fast, what does it take to win?

In Part 3 of our Route du Rhum 2026 coverage, we take a close look at the extraordinary monohull fleets preparing for the 3,500-mile solo transatlantic race from Saint-Malo to Guadeloupe.

From the latest foiling IMOCA 60s to the radical scow-bowed Class40s and the remarkable variety of vintage monohulls, this is a fascinating story of design evolution, fierce competition and the sailors pushing these boats to their limits.
