Blue Racing
for a Green Planet
Indigo Life partners with Viva México for The Ocean Race
One of the world’s most prestigious sailing races. One mission — to bring ocean conservation to every port, every stopover, every conversation along the way.
A race with purpose,
at the highest level.
VO65 team Viva México, led by Mexican skipper Erik Brockmann, entered The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint — a three-stage event sailing around the world as part of the 2022–23 edition of The Ocean Race.
Indigo Life partnered with Viva México to bring an interactive learning experience to visitors at each race stopover — making the case for ocean conservation at one of sailing’s most watched global events.
Viva México carries a special history: Mexico’s first return to the race since winning the very first edition in 1973 with Sayula II, skippered by Ramón Carlín.
Conservation at every stopover.
Mexico’s Ocean Biodiversity
Showcasing Mexico as the 4th largest biosphere on the planet — its extraordinary marine life, coastal ecosystems and natural heritage.
Blue Carbon Projects
Highlighting Mexico’s leading work in blue carbon — mangroves, seagrasses and coastal ecosystems that store carbon and protect coastlines.
Art with Purpose
Bringing the Blue Mind photographic project to each host city — using art and beauty to inspire love for the ocean and urgent action for its protection.
Sustainable Travel
Promoting sustainable tourism to Mexico’s most magnificent coastal destinations — showing that conservation and experience can go hand in hand.
Youth & Education
Supporting and empowering the next generation of ocean advocates — engaging young people at every stop to become ambassadors for the sea.
