Apply Now to Join Momentum – Future Onboard
Momentum – Future Onboard is more than a campaign – it’s a project to prove what the next generation is capable of when they set bold goals and go all in. And now, the next step of our journey is here.
We’re officially opening the application process for the Momentum – Future Onboard crew, and this is your chance to be part of the story.
Our mission
Our aim is simple but ambitious: to build the youngest team ever to compete and win in a round-the-world race. With an international crew of sailors all under 30, we’re restoring the Spirit of Helsinki to her former Fazer Finland era racer condition, and taking her back to the oceans of the world.
Who we’re looking for
We want passionate and highly motivated individuals born 1997 or after who are ready to commit to a challenge that will test every aspect of who they are and reveal what they can become.
You don’t need to be the best sailor in the world but you do need to be ready to give it your all.
Application Timeline
Applications open: June 16, 2025
Applications close: July 31, 2025 Extended until the end of week 31 (August 3)

• Briefly tell your story: what has brought you to this point of filming this application video?
