British solo sailor Alex Thomson’s new HUGO BOSS IMOCA 60 is the most powerful boat in the IMOCA 60 fleet and is equipped with all Doyle Stratis sails. Thomson has one dream: to be the first non-Frenchman to win the Vendée Globe. Over the next few months, Thomson will undertake a rigorous testing and training schedule which will involve a transatlantic and Mediterranean sailing program before heading to Spain for the start of the Barcelona World Race in December.

The boat has undergone a dramatic redesign over the last four months under the guidance of yacht designer Juan Kouyoumdjian. At the end of May, Thomson’s new HUGO BOSS IMOCA 60 was officially unveiled at an exclusive launch event at the East Wintergarden, Canary Wharf. Hollywood leading lady, Diane Kruger, joined F1 racing driver David Coulthard, and a host of other celebrities, as Thomson’s new yacht was christened in front of an audience of 650 guests.
