@ Yachty4000 Hi, in your last edit of this page you mentioned, that you want the list to be a list of available boats. I would like to know the reasoning behind that. As I see it, this was only an interesting list until the candidates were announced. Now boats without skippers don`t have a chance of ever taken to the starting line. Some examples: In the case of Be Water Positive the skipper and owner (Scott Sawyer) has clearly stated that he does not plan to compete in 2024 ( https://www.sail-world.com/news/268244/Scott-Shawyer-and-Nick-Moloney-preparing). Additionally, if this would be a list of all available boats, there are several 2008 generation boats missing, like e.g. IMOCA 60 Temenos 2.
As I see the benefit for a list of IMOCA 60s, I started to do this list: Draft:List of IMOCA 60 yachts. But, since I am not sure if this justifies an article in itself I abandoned that idea and created this template: Template:IMOCA 60 sailing yachts.
Long story short: I get your sentiment but do not see why boats with no prospect for the 2024 VG should be included. Let me know your thoughts. V.Glas ( talk) 21:48, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
