about us

2025 race schedule

The last full campaign schedule comprised of 18 races over 4 years in 13 different countries, culminating with the Vendée Globe. This is known as the IMOCA Globe Series. This series includes the most prestigious solo, double-handed and crewed extreme sailing races in the world.

Sailors must compete in the IMOCA Globe Series as part of a gruelling qualification process to prove their eligibility to race in the Vendée Globe, making them the "BEST" sailors in the world.

Oliver qualified for and completed the 2024 Vendée Globe on his first attempt, finishing in 29th place after 99 days and 5 hours of racing.

 

 Here's a teaser of what's coming this year...
