The seven year partnership stands as one of the longest within the IMOCA class, this ongoing commitment from Hugo Boss will see Alex compete within the IMOCA circuit in the lead up to the 2012 Vendée Globe.

'I am delighted Hugo Boss are retaining title sponsorship of the project, it has been a great partnership and I know there is still so much we can do. I will announce a full programme of events for the team soon. A brand like Hugo Boss brings a new level of glamour to the sport, it is exciting to work with such an innovative and distinctive company. I am proud to have a reliable and successful partner on board especially in tough times like these where sponsorship of such a scale is difficult to find. I would like to thank Hugo Boss for their continued support and I am looking forward to exciting years ahead.' IMOCA skipper Alex Thomson (GBR).
