Watch 'Legacy' — a behind-the-scenes look at the helm transition aboard UpWind by MerConcept.

From Francesca Clapcich’s groundbreaking debut season to Anne-Claire Le Berre stepping in to carry the torch, 'Legacy' captures a powerful moment of evolution, mentorship, and ambition.

Backed by Founding Sponsor 11th Hour Racing, UpWind by MerConcept opens up competitive opportunities for the next generation of sailors, enabling them to explore, learn, and excel on the open sea through a global racing schedule on an Ocean Fifty high-performance trimaran.

UpWind by MerConcept aims to create a more inclusive and diverse offshore sailing community, providing a platform for individuals from all backgrounds to access quality sailing training and professional development.

Steve Benjamin, filmmaker “I really want people to fall in love with the ocean, to appreciate it more, and to try to alter their behavior around it. Everything ends up in the ocean, and it’s such a dumping ground for humanity. My hope is that people see the ocean as a living entity that needs to be protected.”

Amory Ross, storyteller “How can I describe the ocean? The ocean is impossible to describe because it is endless; it is full of life, wonder, and mystery.”
