MB Offshore Team

What an incredible journey, dear friends.
We, as a team, would like to express our deepest gratitude for every moment, every teammate, and every friend we have met along the way. To all our supporters and sponsors, thank you. You have made this experience truly unforgettable.
Many of you have asked whether this marks the final chapter of a story that began back in 2000, more than 26 years ago. The truth is, it’s hard to say. This brotherhood has shaped not only our summers, but our lives over decades.
One thing is certain: the next sailing season will pass without us. As for what lies beyond that, only time will tell.
But a break does not necessarily mean the end. A few new ideas have already begun to take shape, and knowing us, standing still has never really been our strength. Let’s see what comes next.
So stay tuned, there is a chance we may have something to share with you down the line.
What we do know is this: these years have been truly priceless in so many ways.
Over and out.

She's wrapped into plastic and on her way to the new owner😪

Our beautiful and successful GP42 Mercedes-Benz has been sold. We are really greatful for the super fancy and super fast sailing experiences with her during the last five years😎

Next summer she will be racing in UK under French flag. We wish her and her new owner great success in the coming years🍾🥂🥳

What a sailing season 2025 has been! It truly felt like a roller coaster, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Finishing the season with silver at the ORC World Championships was a proud moment for the team, and a result we truly earned through hard work and persistence.

This year reminded us once again why we love sailing: the challenge of the races, the unpredictability of the wind, and the joy of sharing it all with friends and fellow sailors.

To all our friends and fellow sailors, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the wind always be favourable, the seas welcoming, and the coming season full of exciting adventures.

Gents, here's an easy and stylish Christmas gift for her. 4 different colours of nourishing lip balms in a beautiful Xmas package. She will like it👄. For our sailing friends only: 20% discount code XMAS20

Very happy faces with silver medals at ORC World Championship in Tallinn🥈🥈🥈

Silver medals to Mercedes-Benz Offshore Team at the ORC World Championship in Tallinn Estonia!

Fantastic team effort!

With no racing on Day 4 due to lack of wind the Day 5 provided the Short Offshore race. The Tallin Bay gave once again spectacular conditions topped with another high speed dash to the finish line.

Flluctuating winds around Tallin Madal Lighthouse gave enough challenge for our team and after 6,5 hours of hard fighting we were able to score second, both in the race and overall.

The forecast for tomorrow (20-25 kn sustained) promises for an exiting race day. The final results are still wide open and anything can happen.

No wind today😬

Day 2 provided champagne sailing conditions, sunshine, close racing with ups and downs. We scored second in the first race.

Unfortunately the second race was very difficult for us: we faced challenges in finding the right breeze and boatspeed in addition to couple of rather unnecessary duels. This led us to the other end of the scorecard. With working hard we sorted things out for the third race, and ended 3rd both in the last race of the day and overall.

We look forward to close racing for today’s light winds and for the rest of the week!

Mercedes-Benz Offshore Team had a strong start at the ORC Worlds 2025 in Estonia resulting 2nd place in the 211 nautical miles offshore race in class A.

The team feels great, the boat is working perfectly we are looking forward for the next races to come!
