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. It now competes in the 2023 The Ocean Race as 11th Hour Racing.
