Volvo Ocean 65 Vestas 11th Hour Racing

Vestas 11th Hour Racing[1] was a Volvo Ocean 65 class yacht team competing in the 2017–2018 Volvo Ocean Race.

It was named after 11th Hour Racing, a program of The Schmidt Family Foundation[2] and its then title sponsors: a wind turbine manufacturer Vestas Wind Systems A/S.

After the COVID-19 pandemic disruption the team changed yacht class to IMOCA 60 and no longer had Vestas as a sponsor.

The team finished fifth in the 2017–18 Volvo Ocean Race and in the 2014–15 Volvo Ocean Race, when she was known as Team Alvimedica and skippered by Charlie Enright.

[3] Between the two races, Vestas 11th Hour Racing was extensively refitted along with the other Volvo Ocean 65's.
