WORKING TOGETHER FOR OCEAN HEALTH

11th Hour Racing funds projects that improve ocean health and address the environmental challenges faced by coastal communities.

Our work is inclusive and centered around people because we can’t change what is happening to our ocean if we don’t address the needs, desires and history of our coastal communities with a holistic approach.
