Participate in an offshore boat race with Michel Desjoyeaux

After having supported Michel Desjoyeaux in designing his boat and invited everyone on board, Dassault Systèmes now invites you to experience a 3D serious game which will take you through an offshore race.

Discover the strategic aspects of racing, learn how to handle your boat even in difficult weather conditions and understand the main maneuvers to perform on a boat, all within the context of a fun online game.

To accompany you throughout this "serious game", Michel Desjoyeaux will give you some clues as well as anecdotes about his personal experience in a similar race.

To fully experience the serious game, we recommend that you visit the boat first.
