about White Ocean Racing

Now with the next Vendee Globe firmly in their sights, White Ocean Racing is searching for sponsors to join the team during their race programme leading up to and including the Vendee Globe 2012.

Steve White - Motivational Speaker

Steve not only survived the world's toughest solo ocean race, he finished 8th. Only 11 completed the race from an original start line of 30.

Steve proved himself not only a talented solo ocean racer competing alongside the top professional names in the sport, but also an excellent, colourful and good humoured communicator Steve's hard-wired desire to reach his goal and not to take no for an answer, is the most inspirational facet of a remarkable character.
