VELUX is the main sponsor of the single-handed round-the-world ocean race, which is therefore now known as VELUX 5 OCEANS. The decision to choose ocean racing, and one of the toughest races in the sport at that, is seen as being a perfect match to VELUX core values – daylight and fresh air.
Single-handed across five oceans in thoroughbred racing yachts, facing all the extremes of nature! This is the challenge for the skippers in the VELUX 5 OCEANS and parallel to the requirements to the VELUX core products - roof windows and skylights - exposed to all kinds of weather. Our products must always deliver the very best under all conditions – regardless of cold, storms, dry spells or blizzards. Quality, technology and endurance are the key words.
VELUX 5 OCEANS is the perfect match for our brand, values, strategies and markets. VELUX works with daylight in buildings and thus with the natural environment’s importance for the well-being of human beings. The characteristics of yachting correspond to our company’s ambition of constantly mastering the elements and having the commitment to push boundaries.
