A Race that Redefines Europe




The 2025 Ocean Race Europe is a sprint with the pressure of a marathon, across some of Europe’s most unpredictable waters. For Paprec Ark=C3=A9a, led by world class skipper Yoann Richomme, it is a switch from solo mastery to the shared precision of a fully crewed campaign.







With Zhik as official gear partner, every layer is built to keep the crew sharp in the extremes, from icy spray in the North Sea to the blistering heat of the Mediterranean. Tested over thousands of nautical miles, our OFS800 Ocean Jacket, Seaboot 700 and UVActive Tops deliver protection, agility and comfort, with sustainability at the core.

This partnership is built on shared values: technical innovation, sustainable progress and a refusal to settle for second best. Zhik’s design team has worked directly with Richomme and crew to prototype, test and refine gear in the toughest environments – not just the lab, but on the water.
