David Raison invented the modern scow with his Mini Transat-winner Magnum. He launched his pioneering Mini 6.50 design in 2010 and after 18 months of hard development he used the boat to dominate the 2011 Mini Transat, regularly sailing 3-4kt faster than his rivals. Now Raison is pursuing a new interpretation of the scow for the Imocas with a pair of designs for Jean Le Cam and Eric Bellion for the 2024 Vendée Globe
