We're delighted to announce our partnership with IMOCA, one of the fastest and most exciting offshore yacht racing classes, as the Official Weather Supplier for the Vendée Globe.

We are proud to support the world's most prestigious solo round-the-world race with forecast data to aid competitors in their strategy and safety while racing over 40,000km on the open ocean.

What is the Vendée Globe?

The Vendée Globe is a single-handed, non-stop, non-assisted round-the-world sailing race that takes place every four years and is contested on 18 metre IMOCA monohulls. The skippers set off from Les Sables-d'Olonne in Vendée and round the three legendary capes (Good Hope, Leeuwin and finally Cape Horn) before returning to Les Sables d'Olonne. The race attracts professional skippers from all over the world, and is above all else an incredible feat of human determination and adventure.
