"The Clearing is buzzing today with the thrill of the high seas…at least, from the safety of our desks. The new Hugo Boss boat took to the water for the first time as skipper Alex Thomson prepares to sail it single-handedly around the world in the Vendée Globe in November.
After three intensive months' of close collaboration with Alex Thomson Racing and Hugo Boss, we've overcome technical challenges to create a revolutionary composite surface that emphasises the performance and technical pedigree of the team. The result is an eye-catching new livery with a stunning chromed hull - which looks as effective and efficient as it performs."
