Vulnerable : the new name of Thomas Ruyant and Sam Goodchild's IMOCA

Skippers Thomas Ruyant and Sam Goodchild will be lining up at the start of the New York Vendée - Les Sables d'Olonne under the colours of their new campaign name Vulnerable.

Les Arts Florissants : New York - Vendée, a baroque connection
