about White Ocean Racing

White Ocean Racing is the company set up by world renown solo sailor Steve White and his wife Kim as a vehicle for Steve's world class sailing adventures.

In 2008 / 2009, Steve circumnavigated the globe; 27000 miles non- stop and alone with no outside assistance in the Vendée Globe yacht race, which is widely regarded as the pinnacle of sailing.

Going forward, Steve and the team are searching for sponsors for two exciting campaigns, the 2012 Vendée Globe, and also a record attempt that people who know him say was made for him – to take on sailings toughest challenge - sailing “Westabout” non-stop and alone the wrong way around the World

Steve White - Motivational Speaker

Steve, currently ranked as one of the world’s top 10 sailors, completed the world's toughest solo ocean race, finishing 8th out of 30 competitors.

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.

Deep in darkest Dorset...

Deep in darkest Dorset Kim and I are hard at work. With winter's icy grip loosening it's hold and Christmas well and truly behind us, the sponsorship drive continues in earnest as companies begin to communicate again after the recent distractions, and also because things are improving for businesses on a financial level. The feedback we have has had from potential sponsors we have approached has been positive – doing a Vendée Globe has certainly made us much more credible – and now it is just down to finding the right company at the right time!

Before the next Vendée Globe in 2012 there are a number of other races that we would like to do, the first of which is the Velux 5-Oceans this October ( http://www.velux5oceans.com ), and then we aim to build a new boat in time for the Transat Jacques Vabre in 2011, giving us time to work up properly before 2012 – we don't want a repeat of last time, that was all a little too last minute!

This time we have the team waiting in the wings, the budgets sorted out in detail, clear ideas of what we want from the new boat – all we need now is to find the right partner, which surely is only a matter of time.

Anyone who has any suggestions on who we should contact, and better still anyone who can make a personal introduction, should contact us through the website and let us know.
