PH Racing is an offshore sailing team that supports sailor Paddy Hutchings, aiming to complete his goals of competing in the worlds biggest offshore races while promoting an ever important sustainability message.

THE SAILOR

​

Born in Plymouth, Paddy grew up around the sea and started sailing at the age of 10. From then, he has developed a huge passion for the sport, going on to represent GB in multiple classes at National, European and World level, winning numerous National and European championships.

However, Paddy has always been drawn to the offshore side of sailing and working within the IMOCA and Figaro circuits for the last few years has given him the experience to run his own successful campaign. After Successful campaigns working with Pip Hare and Boris Herman in their incredible 2020 Vendee Globe races, it is now time to take on the next challenge, the legendary Solitare Du Figaro.

At PH Racing, we have the opportunity to use our platform to promote a cause that is extremely important to us. #Sail4Sustainability is a project launched by Paddy to help educate and raise awareness towards plastic pollution in the ocean. 

​

We hope to use our platform to reach two main targets within our sustainability mission. Firstly, we want to discuss with businesses within the Marine industry about the products they supply and how plastic can be reduced for both sustainable sailing and safer oceans. 

​

Our second target is to enhance the education of young people, helping them better understand how plastic affects the ocean and preventative measures that they can put into place to support this mission and strive for sustainability as a whole. We hope to use the boat within this campaign to inspire young people, allowing them to experience the ocean's greatness and why it needs to be kept clean.
