The final event of the 2025 69F Cup marked the end of an unforgettable debut season for Elevation Sailing Team. What began as a year of learning and transition has finished with results that are nearly unheard of for a rookie campaign.
At Grand Prix 4, the team delivered one of our strongest performances to date, finishing with:
🥈 Youth Silver Medalists
🥉 Podium finish overall
These results also secured us 🥈 2nd place in the 69F Cup General Ranking and 🥇 1st in the Owner Driver Cup, a remarkable achievement for our first year on the circuit.
Beyond the numbers, this season has been about more than standings. It has been about stepping into one of the most demanding circuits in sailing, adapting to the pace of high-performance foiling, and proving ourselves against some of the best teams in the world. With Chris Oben as helmsman in his own rookie season, and a talented, dedicated crew working relentlessly on and off the water, Elevation Sailing Team has grown stronger at every event.
“This season has been about building, learning, and showing that we belong here,” said helmsman Chris Oben. “To finish our first year on the podium is something we’re proud of - but for us, it’s just the beginning.”
Most importantly, none of this would have been possible without the support of our coaches, partners, and everyone who has believed in our vision from day one. This rookie season has laid the foundation for everything to come.
As we look ahead, we are more motivated than ever. Elevation Sailing Team has shown what’s possible in a debut year, and we are committed to continuing in the same spirit - pushing harder, aiming higher, and building on this momentum as we take the next steps in our journey. This is just the beginning.
