Our ambition is to compete in the major ocean races within the next campaign cycle, with a focus on taking part in the fully crewed Ocean Race in 2027 and the Vendée Globe solo circumnavigation in 2028.

 

We are actively seeking new partners and sponsors to support us in this bold ambition.

WHAT IS A CAMPAIGN

A typical campaign is a selection of carefully chosen races over a 4-year period, culminating in the world’s toughest ocean race; the Vendée Globe which is also known as the ‘Everest of the Seas’ in recognition of the physical and mental hardship required to take part. 

 

The qualifying races are a mix of solo, double-handed and team-racing events, designed to challenge the skipper, encourage sailors to share experiences and provide opportunities for a new generation of offshore sailors to gain exposure to the competitive IMOCA circuit. 

 

Sailors will accrue points for each race they compete in, which will count towards the gruelling qualification criteria for the Vendée Globe 2028, ensuring only the best skippers will be able to take part in the formidable solo, non-stop, circumnavigation.
