Thomas Ruyant and Sam Goodchild's IMOCA boats renamed Vulnerable

Both part of the same TR Racing team, Thomas Ruyant and Sam Goodchild now have two IMOCA boats with the same name: Vulnerable.

The two skippers will be ambassadors for a campaign on vulnerability, initiated by Advens, the partner of the TR Racing team. The aim of the campaign is to take a different look at vulnerability, by moving away from seeing it as a burden to be carried, towards seeing it as limits to be accepted and a potential for creating value to be released. Its ambition is to give a real place to the most vulnerable among us in order to harmonise society.
