DRIVEN BY WIND. DEFINED BY AMBITION.
Our Mission
Elevation was founded to raise the standard for what a youth sailing team can be — not just competitive, but professional in mindset, values, and execution. We’re here to compete at the highest level across foiling, match racing, and high-performance classes, and to do it with the discipline, vision, and presence of a world-class campaign.
Our Story
Founded by Chris Oben in 2024, Elevation Sailing Team grew from a bold idea into a fully committed racing program. With a group of like-minded, driven athletes from across Europe, we set out to build a team that reflects our generation: fast-moving, highly skilled, media-aware, and unafraid of pressure.
What We Sail
We compete in two of sailing’s most dynamic and engaging formats: 69F foiling and match racing. The 69F delivers high-speed, full-flight action with boats reaching over 30 knots — a visually striking, media-friendly platform that has become a proving ground for the sport’s next generation. Match racing brings intense, close-quarters duels where strategy, rules, and precision collide — making it one of the most thrilling and accessible formats for spectators and storytelling.
Core Values
Looking Ahead
Elevation Sailing Team is more than a campaign — it’s a launchpad.
We’re here to deliver results now and build careers that reach Olympic, America’s Cup, and SailGP levels. We're laying the foundation for something bigger, and we’re only just getting started.
