Libertalia<\/strong> is a Volvo 60, also called VOR 60, 19.50m racing yacht<\/strong> with professional crew<\/strong>. This VOR60 was designed and built to race the Volvo Ocean Race 2001-02<\/strong>, the crewed round the world race. Hired under the name of Djuice Dragons, he was skippered by Knut Frostad, with Thomas Coville as Watch Leader and Jean-Yves Bernot as Navigator.<\/p>\n

This racing yacht is an extreme boat<\/strong>, a Formula 1 of the seas with very spartan comfort. This demanding and powerful unit<\/strong> is now aligned on offshore races<\/strong>, in IRC 0 <\/b>measurement rule (Rolex Fastnet Race, Armen Race, Tour de Belle Ile, Rolex Middle Sea Race, Voiles de Saint-Tropez, Transat, etc.).<\/p>\n

For sleeping and catering on board, that’s the union minimum: 14 bunks, a gas stove and a toilet! The navigation station is located aft, below the cockpit.<\/div>\n
\n
On deck, double helm station<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0double winch pedestals for the grinders<\/strong>! Hydraulics and ballasts complete the\u00a0power on board<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
Rigged as a sloop with\u00a0carbon mast<\/strong>, the Volvo 60 has a\u00a0large and varied wardrobe<\/strong>! Up front, you will be spoiled for choice: staysail, J1, J2, genoa, large genoa, asymmetric spinnaker, symmetrical spinnaker. The mainsail is \u201cfull batten\u201d with a membrane fabric<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
