As Arnaud Boissières beautifully said: "If my boat can be used for something more than just going as fast as possible, it's even better." ✨

Offshore racing meets ocean science. 🌊
3 of the #VendéeArctique skippers have a mission. 🎯 F.Clapcich (@11thHourRacing ), A.Boissières (April Marine-Recherche Co-Partenaire), and M.Cousin (Coup de Pouce) will deploy weather buoys for Météo-France right at the Arctic Circle.

[IMOCAGlobeSeries @ImocaGS]

Supported by @11thHourRacing (sustainability partner of the IMOCA Class), this initiative has seen nearly 60 buoys deployed by over 30 IMOCA skippers since 2020, collecting more than 1.5 million data points across the locations shown on this infographic! 🌍🛰️
