11th Hour Racing establishes strategic partnerships within the sailing and maritime communities to promote collaborative, systemic change benefitting the health of our ocean – one degree at a time. Since 2010, the organization has been harnessing the power of sport with an innovative and comprehensive approach through three primary areas of engagement: sponsorships, grantees, and ambassadors
We use the power of sport to sell sustainability instead of products. By sponsoring organizations and events interested in reducing their environmental impact, we enable them to become leaders in ocean health. Our sponsorships provide funds, tools, and resources to empower with a focus on sport, strategic innovation, and sustainable technologies. We place a strong emphasis on the connection between land and water — because what happens on land affects our ocean and waterways. We are looking for a truly exceptional person to assist with 11th Hour Racing’s sponsorships through a portfolio covering a spectrum of sailing teams, events, as well as marine industry, and community partners.
