    For a school project I'd like to know who introduced the following innovations on the 60' monohulls for the Vendee Globe, and when ?

    Twin rudders
    Lifting rudders
    Composite keel
    Canting keel
    Central water ballasts
    Wing mast with outriggers
    Wing mast without outriggers

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    Parlier

    Just a guess, but I'd bet that more than half of those were integrated to the Open60 by Yves Parlier.

    Copernic...

    Hello...

    Download the still free version of Copernic Basic local drive search engine and type in exact phrase - open 60 design...

    See http://www.copernic.com/ - this little piece of software will search up to 17 engines rather than that of the data base you may be on....

    I have run many scanners against it - it is mute on viruses and other - very good tool...
