Le nouveau Initiatives-Cœur est construit dans le moule de l’ancien L’Occitane en Provence d’Armel Tripon sur les plans de l’architecte Sam Manuard. Ce qui permettra à Sam de disposer d’une carène très innovante, et des retours d’expérience du dernier Vendée Globe.
La construction est confiée au chantier Black Pepper. L’équipe Initiatives-Cœur se charge de l’assemblage : quille, mât, accastillage, mécanique, électronique, peinture… Le bureau d'études intégré pilotera les évolutions par rapport à la précédente version notamment sur les foils, et adaptera le bateau à Sam.
Sa mise à l’eau est prévue à l’été 2022, ce qui permettra d’envisager sereinement le Vendée Globe 2024, avec pour commencer une belle participation à la Route du Rhum 2022.
The Initiatives-Coeur is a 60-foot IMOCA racing yacht (International Monohull Open Class Association) whose length is a regulatory 60 feet i.e. 18.28 metres.
The Black Pearl, captained by the famous pirate Jack Sparrow, was nearly three times longer but not nearly as fast!
The Initiatives-Coeur has a speed of up to 30 knots, that is, 55 kph at maximum speed.

The Naylah* Years
This boat is especially built for Sam Davies.
The second time used mould off Armel Tripon's former boat, will mean that she benefits from the latest advanced technologies, notably the rounded shape of the bow (known as the Skow shape).
Running up to face the oceans in time for the 2024 Vendée Globe.
*Naylah (Congo) operated in 2021.

The Ardacha* Years
The new Initiatives-Cœur is a foiled boat launched in 2010, with which Jérémy Beyou finished 3rd in the Vendée Globe in 2017.
During the Vendée Globe 2020, he suffered a major keel damage which forced Sam to stop for repairs in South Africa. She will courageously end the round the world race without the race and will save 103 children!
*Ardacha was operated on in 2016.
215 children saved

The Obed* Years
This 2006 sailboat was the craft in which Vincent Riou (PRB) saved Jean Le Cam when his boat was wrecked in the 2009 Vendée Globe.

In 2016, he withdrew from the Vendée Globe after his mast was damaged.
*Obed was operated on in 2012.
