Latest News About Imoca 60 Super Bigou

Here’s what I can share about IMOCA 60 Super Bigou as of now.

What is Super Bigou

• Super Bigou is an Open/IMOCA 60 class racing yacht with a carbon hull and a long competitive history, having competed under various names including Medallia and others as part of professional offshore circuits.[3][6]
• The boat has a notable pedigree, including a win in major offshore events in its earlier life and a high-profile Vendée Globe campaign in 2020/2021 (Pip Hare) where the boat placed 19th out of 33.[1][3]

Current status and notable listings

• Several listings as of 2025–2026 describe Super Bigou for sale, noting the boat’s year of launch (2000) and a refit around 2020, with mentions of previous owners and racing credentials.[4][5][1][3]
• Some sources highlight its continued availability for purchase, sometimes with offers invited and potential exchange options, and they include details about the mast, rigging, and sails that come with the boat.[5][1][3]
• The boat has a documented rebuild and maintenance history, and there are several regional listings (France and the UK) referencing its sale and transport readiness, including descriptions of its equipment and interior setup.[1][4][5]

What to verify if you’re considering an inquiry

• Confirm current ownership and eligibility for sale, including any liens or prior race commitments and the boat’s seaworthiness status after the 2020 refit.[3][1]
• Inspect for up-to-date safety gear, sail inventory, standing rigging, and the condition of the canting keel and ballast systems, which are critical for an IMOCA 60’s performance and safety.[1][3]
• Check recent performance history and any available performance data from more recent events or sea trials if you’re evaluating potential purchase for racing or research purposes.[6][9]

Illustrative snapshot

• Historical lineage: Medallia (Pip Hare’s Vendée Globe campaign) → later references as Open IMOCA 60 Super Bigou in for-sale listings, with details about build year, refit, and ongoing racing heritage.[6][3][1]
• Typical sale listings emphasize: carbon construction, open-60 classification, post-2020 refit, hull/rigging packages, and possible spares including extra mast/boom and running rigging.[5][3][1]
