Oliver Heer’s around-the-world sailing race in its final stage

As the new year unfolds, the Vendée Globe journey has proven to be as gruelling and unforgiving as anyone could have anticipated. The Oliver Heer Ocean Racing Team has experienced incredible highs and lows in recent weeks, with moments that have tested both physical endurance and mental resilience. Yet, despite every obstacle, he remains unwavering optimistic, determined, and fully committed to conquering the world’s toughest sailing race.

Currently Oliver is preparing his approach to the notorious Cape Horn, the most southerly tip of South America and the 3rd of the three major capes he will pass on this race. Once safely round this significant milestone, he will enter into the Atlantic Ocean and the final phase of his race. 

With just a few thousand kilometres to go before the finish line, Ollie is 100% focussed. He is racing hard, looking for tactical opportunities within the weather systems, but always mindful of maintaining a balance between performance and safety. 

We couldn’t be prouder to stand behind Oliver Heer and the entire Ocean Racing Team. Their dedication, courage, and indomitable spirit continue to inspire us all. 

Stay tuned as we cheer Oliver through these final, critical miles. And as we’ve said from the start: fair winds and smooth seas, Captain Heer. The world is waiting to welcome you home.
