The Netherlands is setting sail for the ultimate ocean racing challenge: the Vendée Globe 2028. Our ambition? To compete with a Dutch-sponsored IMOCA 60, putting our nation on the map in a solo, non-stop, race around the world.

​

4 year campaign

The journey starts now with the purchase of an IMOCA this year, followed by an intense four-year campaign, racing in over 15 world-class events to qualify. This includes The Ocean Race, the Transat Jacques Vabre, the Route du Rhum, the Défi Azimut, and the New York – Vendée race, among others. Each race brings us closer to the start line in Les Sables d’Olonne in 2028. 4 years of global racing and exposure.
