Blue Race for a Green Planet

Indigo Life Partners with Viva Mexico for The Ocean Race

VO65 team Viva México led by Mexican skipper Erik Brockmann has confirmed its entry in The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint – a new three stage event taking place as part of the 2022-23 edition of The Ocean Race around the world.

Viva Mexico is an active and energetic ambassador for the mega diversity of Mexico and the conservation of marine and coastal ecosystems that contribute to the storage of blue carbon as well as to promote climate mitigation projects and sustainable tourism in the country. Education of the next generation is critical and urgent.

Viva México joins four other VO65 crews – Ambersail 2 (LTU), Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team (POR), Team JAJO (NED), WindWhisper Racing Team (POL) – competing for a new trophy: The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint Cup.

We are in a decade of action, where there needs to be major changes to how we treat the planet, if we are to reach critical targets by 2030. At The Ocean Race we believe that we have the platform to educate, inspire and accelerate action for our blue planet at this critical time in history.
We are using our global platform to inspire all those that we can reach to take action to help the ocean. This includes the sailing community, wider sports industry, businesses, host cities, governments, children, fans and many more.

Indigo Life partnering with Viva Mexico for the Ocean Race, will bring an interactive learning space to visitors in each stopover where we will showcase; 

  • Mexico´s Diversity as the 4th largest biosphere in the Planet
  • Mexico´s leading projects on Blue Carbon
  • Sustainable travel to amazing Mexican spots

  • Attention to Ocean Conservation Culture
  • Channel efforts and sponsorships  that aim to fight climate change and plastic pollution
