Geodis is a 60-foot IMOCA monohull in carbon and Nomex, designed by Jean-Marie Finot and Pascal Conq with Christophe Auguin and built by JMV Industries in Cherbourg. She was launched in June 1994 as Sceta-Calberson. Auguin won the 1994-1995 BOC Challenge aboard and set a solo 24-hour distance record.
Renamed Geodis in 1996, she was refitted at JMV and given a canting keel. Auguin won the 1996-1997 Vendée Globe in 105 days, after which two small asymmetric daggerboards were added. She finished third in the 1998 Route de l'Or and sailed New York to Cape Lizard across the Atlantic in 9 days 22 hours 59 minutes, a time that was not ratified.
Bernard Gallay bought her in 2000, refitted her and raced her as Voila.fr, finishing eighth in the 2000-2001 Vendée Globe. Hervé Laurent took over in 2004 as UUDS (seventh in the Transat anglaise, retired from the Vendée Globe with a broken rudder). In 2006, chartered to Philippe Fiston, she placed tenth in the Route du Rhum as 92-Adriana Karembeu Paris.
Sold in 2010, she was named Oxigen by 2014, when an engine failure took her to Cherbourg, where she was abandoned. Seized by the city, she was sold at auction on 19 May 2025 to Antoine Brunet, who entered her as Geodis in the 2026 Route du Rhum, Vintage Mono category.
