Meet Oliver Heer Ocean Racing

Oliver Heer Ocean Racing (OHOR) is a Swiss offshore sailing team led by skipper Oliver “Ollie” Heer. After completing the 2024/25 Vendée Globe in 99 days, Ollie is now setting his sights on the next chapter: building a competitive campaign towards the 2028 Vendée Globe.

The team’s journey continues with a packed racing programme. In 2026, OHOR will take on The Ocean Race Atlantic, a 3,200-nautical-mile fully crewed race from New York to Lorient, followed by the legendary Route du Rhum later in the year. In 2027, the team will take on its biggest challenge yet: The Ocean Race, a fully crewed race around the world.

Alongside Ollie, a growing team of sailors, boat builders, technical specialists and performance experts are working to develop their IMOCA 60 Yoroshiku and prepare for the challenges ahead.

With their philosophy of “Embrace The Challenge,” OHOR shares Dubarry’s passion for performance, adventure, resilience and life on the water.
