“We hope to inspire many people on this journey to lessen our collective impact on the environment by making small adjustments in our lives – because, with each day, we are racing together against time. This is the Ocean Hour.”
– Mark Towill, 11th Hour Racing Team
“The ocean connects us all, from giving us the very basic necessities for life to regulating the global climate, to providing an avenue for cultures to interact. We only thrive if our ocean thrives – this will be our guiding mantra at the forefront of our decision-making process.”
– Charlie Enright, 11th Hour Racing Team
