It was an unusual Friday in the port of Cape Town, South Africa. On February 24, the five IMOCA boats racing in The Ocean Race faced each other for the first time in the Mother City’s bay, for an In-Port Race (short race in the bay).

Launched at full speed, the IMOCA, which welcomed on board the mayor of Cape Town, Geordin Hill-Lewis, took advantage of variable conditions between 15 and 18 knots to fly several times. The magic worked at the bottom of Table Mountain and the spectators massed on the V&A Waterfront were able to discover for the first time, at home, the formidable machines that are the IMOCAs.
