The nautical miles sailed by the Class40 IBSA over three years, excluding transfers, exceed 25,000: 3,500 in 2022, 15,000 in 2023, and 7,000 in 2024.
The adventure began in 2022, when Alberto Bona – then a rookie in Class40 – participated in the Route du Rhum (a solo race), finishing eighth, just three months after his boat’s launch.
In 2023, the Class40 IBSA programme included six crewed races. In five of these competitions, Alberto was accompanied by Pablo Santurde del Arco, an experienced Spanish navigator in both Class40 and Olympic classes. Together, Alberto and Pablo formed a strong bond, winning the international class championship thanks to the sum of the results achieved during the season:
In 2024, Alberto chose to begin the season by returning to his roots with the Class40 in one of the most challenging solo ocean crossings in the sailing world: the Transat CIC, from Lorient (France) to New York. The return to Europe, from Québec City (Canada) to Saint-Malo (France), was carried out by a crew of three, while the season concluded in September with the Normandy Channel Race, sailed double-handed with Alberto Riva.
