We are delighted to announce our partnership with IMOCA, one of the fastest and most thrilling offshore yacht racing classes, as the Official Weather Supplier for 2024 and 2025. We are proud to support the world’s most prestigious classes by providing forecast data to assist competitors with their strategy and ensure safety while racing on the open ocean.

Founded in 1991 and recognized by World Sailing (the International Sailing Federation) since 1998, the International Monohull Open Class Association (IMOCA) manages the Class of 60-foot (18.28-meter) Open monohulls. IMOCA sets the rules to ensure fair competition while promoting innovation and the safety of the boats.

In 2018, IMOCA launched the IMOCA Globe Series. The Championship brings together the most prestigious ocean races, challenging sailors in solo, double-handed, and fully-crewed formats aboard high-performance IMOCA 60 yachts. For the first time in history, this championship unites two iconic round-the-world events: the legendary Vendée Globe, a solo, non-stop, and unassisted race, and The Ocean Race, a grueling crewed competition. Spanning four years, the championship features 18 thrilling races across more than 13 countries, pushing the limits of endurance, teamwork, and innovation in offshore sailing.

The Vendée Globe is a single-handed, non-stop, non-assisted round-the-world sailing race that takes place every four years and is contested on 18 metre IMOCA monohulls. The skippers set off from Les Sables-d'Olonne in Vendée and round the three legendary capes (Good Hope, Leeuwin and finally Cape Horn) before returning to Les Sables d'Olonne. The race attracts professional skippers from all over the world, and is above all else an incredible feat of human determination and adventure.

IMOCA and PredictWind Partner for the 2024 and 2025 Racing Seasons.
