Volvo Ocean 65 – Jajo

JAJO is a fully refitted, race-proven Volvo Ocean 65 available for charter through LV Yachting. Designed by Farr Yacht Design and built to withstand the toughest conditions on the planet, she offers a rare opportunity to experience true Ocean Race performance—whether you’re entering a major offshore regatta, building serious sea miles, or organising a high-impact corporate sailing experience.
Originally launched as _Team Brunel_, JAJO boasts a remarkable racing pedigree, including multiple podium finishes in The Ocean Race. More recently, she underwent a comprehensive refit at Royal Huisman, ensuring she’s not only fast but also fully equipped with the latest technology and safety systems. From new North Sails and updated electronics to overhauled hydraulics and rigging, every detail has been refined to deliver competitive edge and reliability offshore.
On deck, JAJO is built for serious sailing. Her canting keel and carbon rig are matched with high-spec winches and a powerful sail wardrobe, enabling her to perform at the highest level in demanding conditions. Below deck, she’s stripped back and race-ready, engineered for speed, efficiency, and endurance.
This is a boat that delivers both on paper and on the water. Charter clients benefit from a one-design platform with proven capability across transatlantic crossings, inshore series, and iconic offshore events. Whether you’re a professional team looking for a turnkey solution or a mixed crew seeking a performance challenge, JAJO offers a level of pedigree and preparation that sets her apart.
With LV Yachting handling logistics, race support, and experienced crew options, chartering JAJO is a seamless way to step into the world of elite ocean racing. If you’re ready to compete at the top level—or simply want to experience the thrill of sailing one of the world’s fastest offshore monohulls—JAJO is ready to deliver.

The yacht is fully insured but you will need your own personal insurance that covers yacht racing

The security deposit is to cover damage to the yacht, that is more than just general wear and tear that would be expected when racing. In the worst case scenario it will cover the excess should there be the need for a claim on the yacht’s insurance. However, it is also there to cover less serious damage that does not warrant an insurance claim like damages to sails. If there is no damage then we will refund the security deposit in the week following the charter. If there are any damages the value of these damages will be assessed and the balance of the security deposit refunded after these costs have been deducted.
