The International Monohull Open Class Association (IMOCA)[1] is the governing body of the IMOCA class. Its main task is to design the class regulations for the ocean racing yachts IMOCA 60 and organising single-handed regattas. It was established in 1991. IMOCA has been a member of World Sailing (governing body of international sailing sport) since 1999.

History

[edit | edit source]
  • Until its discontinuation, the association was also in charge of the IMOCA 50 class.
  • It was the sanctioning authority for the Barcelona World Race.[2]
  • IMOCA organized the Ocean Masters World Championship named International Monohull Open Classes Association World Championship until 2014.[3] In 2018 it discontinued in favour of the IMOCA Globe Series.[4]

IMOCA Globe Series

[edit | edit source]

The IMOCA Globe Series was conceived in 2018.[5] Each skipper collects points throughout the season based on placement and number of participants in official races as well as the difficulty and importance of a race.[6]
