For 100 years, the Royal Ocean Racing Club has been pushing sailors to their limits in the Rolex Fastnet Race, The 2025 centenary edition was the largest offshore race in the world, and history was made once again. We took on the 695-mile challenge, powered by only natural resources and succeeded in completing the race without leaving a trace. No emissions, no biocides, no waste. A world first.
SV Nazca is now part of maritime history as one of the first zero fossil-fuel, biocide-free yacht to sail with a mission. She was launched in 2020, fully electric and biocide free, taking on some of the most notorious waters in the UK with a simple brief - can we sail without leaving a trace.
We've now covered over 6000 nautical miles, supporting marine science, trialling new technology and new methods. We've presented at expos and demonstrations, shows and conferences, we've raced around the Fastnet rock in Ireland and visited ports estuaries, marinas and harbours across the North Atlantic with always the same mission, to be a voice for a changing ocean.
Over the last five years there have been incredible partnerships formed, expeditions led and demonstrations held that highlight our technological achievements and the ocean advocacy work.
With numerous publications now written on the various projects, adventures and the people, this impact has helped influence a change in mindset.
BECOME A PART OF NAZCA'S HISTORY
Our purpose is to promote marine conservation and sustainability through collaboration across engineering, adventure, education and science with a network of key partners and sponsors.
This is about exploration, discovery and the people behind it all. We don’t have all the answers, we are here to push the boundaries and see what happens.
WELCOME ABOARD
Our sponsors are our partners, helping us to hold up the loud hailer and let the ocean's voice be heard.
