Vestas are back in the Volvo Ocean Race after their against-the-odds comeback story in 2014-15. This time, their campaign is being run in full partnership with 11th Hour Racing, a programme of The Schmidt Family Foundation working to implement real change on marine health.

Vestas 11th Hour Racing are led by the American duo of Charlie Enright and Mark Towill, who had their first taste of the Volvo Ocean Race in the last edition with Alvimedica.

They ended that race on a high, adding a victory in the final ocean leg to their two In-Port Race wins, and for this edition, they have twin goals – to do well on the water and promote a sustainable message across the world.
