This is an adventure of a lifetime, joining an elite crew for an exhilarating transatlantic yacht race aboard the high-performance VO65 yacht, Sisi. Navigating on one of the world’s great ocean routes, you will face the unpredictable weather of the relentless Atlantic as you work in a professional watch system, experiencing the true intensity and adrenaline buzz of offshore racing. This journey pushes both skill and endurance in a unique blend of teamwork, competition and adventure, culminating in a prestigious celebration in Cowes - a rare opportunity to race alongside top sailors and test yourself in one of the most challenging ocean crossings.

Sisi was drawn at Farr Yacht Design in the USA especially for the Volvo Ocean Race 2014/15. The strict one-design VO65 follows the basic concept of a planing hull with a wide stern, double rudders, sharp edges, a swivel keel, a reverse bow to extend the waterline and reduce pounding in short waves and a lift profile to counteract the drift. The rig is made by New Zealand manufacturer Southern Spars, which has been equipping the most successful Ocean Race teams for 25 years and were pioneers with the carbon mast in the 1990s. The sails are produced by North Sails, using patented 3Di technology and made from RAW760 Ultra PE / Aramid.
