About: Volvo Ocean 60

The Whitbread 60 (W60), later known as the Volvo Ocean 60 (VO60), was a class of ocean racing yacht built to a "box rule" specifying key design parameters of the 10 smaller yachts which took part the 1993–94 Whitbread Round the World Race. The class raced with such success that the following race was restricted to Whitbread 60s only. Its design was used for the last time in the 2001–02 Volvo Ocean Race, replaced thereafter by the sophisticated, canting keel Volvo Open 70, built to a new box rule.

VO60 Atlantic Challenge

Yachting World

  • January 16, 2004

An Atlantic Challenge has been launched between Spirit and Venom, the two VO60s which took part in last year's Atlantic Rally for Cruisers

The World Cruising Club has announced an Atlantic Challenge between the two VO60s which took part in last year’s Atlantic Rally for Cruisers. Hamish Oliphant, with his crew (which included Yachting World’s Mike Kopman) who set a new Atlantic course record aboard Spirit during their ARC crossing, will once again race against Derek Saunders’ Venom but this time from the Caribbean back to the UK – immediately after this year’s Antigua Sailing Week.

Although this non-stop challenge for the two VO60s, entry is open to any yacht with an IRC TCC of between 1.140 and 1.450 and with a minimum loa of 58ft. The entry fee is £1,000. Oliphant commented: “How can we refuse such a challenge? It would also be great to see some of the other boats join us for the race.”

Depending on the level of entries there will be a selection of prizes and the owners of the two VO60s have donated a 60s Atlantic Challenge Trophy to be awarded to the first VO60 to cross the finish line in Falmouth, UK.

Spirit and Venom are both offering places on board for the challenge, further information of which can be obtained by visiting stand N1712 at the Schroders London Boat Show or by contacting the skippers direct. Hamish Oliphant: [email protected]. Derek Saunders: [email protected] .

TWO CLASSES

The next edition of The Ocean Race will be open to two classes of high-performance ocean-going racing yachts

Media ID-141785

The Ocean Race 2022-23 features two fleets of highperformance ocean-going racing yachts – both are capable of high speeds and in the right conditions can cover 600 nautical miles or more in 24-hours. The 60-foot IMOCA Class is racing around the world for The Ocean Race Trophy, while the 65-foot VO65 Class is racing for The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint Cup over three legs: Leg 1 from Alicante, Spain to Cabo Verde, Leg 6 from Aarhus, Denmark to The Hague in the Netherlands, and Leg 7 from The Hague to Genova, Italy.

Perhaps best known for single-handed or doublehanded racing, the IMOCAs will race with a full crew for their first participation in The Ocean Race.

The IMOCA Class uses a development design rule which allows the designers to experiment with hull and sail shapes within set parameters. However, masts, booms and standing rigging are one-design.

Like the VO65, IMOCAs also have a powerful sail plan and a canting keel, but the class rules also allow the use of retractable underwater foils which further boost performance by lifting the boat partially out of the water.

  • 60-foot (18.3 metres) carbon construction single hull yachts
  • Built to a development rule, so designers can experiment within hull and sail shapes within set parameters
  • Raced by mixed sex crews of four or five sailors
  • A weighted swinging keel and a pair of retractable underwater foils dramatically boost performance
  • Capable of travelling over 600 nautical miles in 24 hours

Having previously raced around the world in the last two editions of The Ocean Race, in the 2022-23 race the VO65s are racing over three legs for The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint Cup.

Built to a strict one-design rule, the boats are identical in every way, and therefore extremely evenly matched.

 A towering sail plan along with a weighted keel that can be canted horizontally underneath the boat make the VO65s powerful and fast in open ocean conditions. 

  • 65-foot (20-metre) single hull carbon construction yachts
  • built to a one-design rule, so identical hull and sail design
  • raced by mixed sex crews of minimum seven sailors
  • a weighted swinging keel gives the boat huge leverage and power
  • capable of travelling over 600 nautical miles in 24 hours

Volvo Ocean 65, VO65 NO6

Persico Marine, Volvo Ocean 65 Built 2015 / €400,000

Volvo Ocean 65, VO65 NO6 1 Main

Broker’s Comments

The Volvo Ocean 65 is an iconic ocean greyhound. Conceived especially for the Volvo Ocean Race, with a brief following a downturn of entries from the spiraling costs of the Volvo 70 – a study was undertaken to provide a one-design class to keep costs down and provide a close and entertaining race for the public to follow.

Farr Yachts’ design produced a yacht that was capable of being just 2.7% slower than the Volvo 70 class, but significantly more robust, and designed with more protection for the crew. In fact, the Volvo 65 holds the Volvo Ocean Race 24 hour distance record, a testament to the strong build and excellent design of the yacht.

Volvo Ocean 65 NO6 has competed in the race a few times, originally as VESTAS and TURN THE TIDE ON PLASTIC. Now available from the new owners for the next race and beyond, she comes as a complete package with support containers.

Once you have booked a charter we will be in touch to gather crew information in order to handle the race entry on your behalf. As the regatta date approaches we will connect you with the Boat Captain via Whatsapp chat and provide useful information on both the event and on the location. We are available at any time via phone or email to answer any other questions or queries you may have.

What is the security deposit for?

The security deposit is to cover damage to the yacht, that is more than just general wear and tear that would be expected when racing. In the worst case scenario it will cover the excess should there be the need for a claim on the yacht’s insurance. However, it is also there to cover less serious damage that does not warrant an insurance claim like damages to sails. If there is no damage then we will refund the security deposit in the week following the charter. If there are any damages the value of these damages will be assessed and the balance of the security deposit refunded after these costs have been deducted.
