Trifork partners with the Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team for the final two legs of The Ocean Race!
The Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team and global NextGen IT provider Trifork will be racing as the Mirpuri/Trifork Racing Team in the final two legs of The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint 2023.
Participating onboard the VO65 “Racing for the Planet”, which was victorious in The Ocean Race Europe 2021, the newly named team will be skippered by Roberto 'Chuny' Bermúdez de Castro, a veteran of seven round-the-world Volvo Ocean Races over 30 years, including a spectacular win in the 2014-15 edition, that has earned him a well-deserved place in the race’s history books.
The Mirpuri/Trifork Racing Team will be on the start line of the next leg of The Ocean Race VO65 Sprint, that resumes on the 8th of June in Aarhus, Denmark when the VO65 fleet races to The Hague in the Netherlands. The final leg of the VO65 Sprint, from The Hague to the Grand Finale in Genova, Italy starts on June 15. The Team also includes names such as Jens Dolmer and Bouwe Bekking.
Trifork and the Mirpuri Foundation share a common outlook towards sustainably and aim to operate a single-use plastic-free and zero carbon emissions race campaign.
