The Skipper
Oliver Heer is a successful Swiss sailor from Zurich. After graduating with a business degree, he followed his dream to become a professional sailor.
Over the last decade, Ollie has established himself as a winning skipper and a key support lead in some of the most high profile offshore sailing campaigns.
The Yacht
Our IMOCA 60, designed by Farr Yacht Design in 2007, has seen a host of skippers at the helm, including Jean Le Cam, Fabrice Amedeo and Romain Attanasio. It’s non-foiling and solid, so is the perfect boat for Ollie’s first race in the Vendée Globe.
