Charlie Dalin presents his new IMOCA MACIF Santé Prévoyance which represents 16,000 man hours, 20 months of work and 50 people involved to get to this point of being on the water.

The idea of the new boat is to keep all the good points of his previous IMOCA Apivia and get rid of the bad points, particularly sailing downwind in big seas.
