I don’t have access to live updates right now, but here’s what’s commonly known about Super Bigou and how to verify the latest news.
Direct answer
- As of now, there isn’t a widely reported, authoritative update about a current IMOCA 60 named Super Bigou in active Vendee Globe campaigns. The vessel is historically known as an Open/IMOCA 60 from around 2000 that has seen refits and sale listings in recent years.
What to check for latest news
- Official race sites and class pages (Vendee Globe, IMOCA 60 class) for entrant announcements or retirements.
- Reputable yacht media and per-m boat listings (e.g., brokers’ sites and major sailing outlets) for recent status, ownership, and refurbishment news.
- Recent press releases or social posts from owners, skippers, or brokers mentioning Super Bigou or its current name/registration.
Notes and context
- Super Bigou has appeared in sale listings and historical articles, often described as a carbon Open 60 with a storied race pedigree, including past Vendee Globe involvement. To confirm its current status, cross-check the latest entries or sale listings from multiple brokers and race authorities.[3][4][6]
Illustration
- If you’d like, I can compile a quick snapshot table of recent listings and race entries mentioning Super Bigou or similar Open 60s, and we can plot their stated status (in build, active racer, sold) over the past few years.
