What was the Virtual Yacht Race ?

The Virtual yacht race ran along side the real race and gave race followers a chance to manage an ocean racing yacht around the world. Anyone could join for free and take part in the most exciting ocean bound event on the Internet. At the start the virtual skippers had to choose the crew, pick supplies and name the vessel.


High Sea Adventure

The race covered the same course as the BT Global Challenge yachts and entrants had to battle against a whole armada of other human contestants. The final winner was :

Ros Holder, virtual skipper of WAYWARD WIND II

who won a week's holiday for two in Cape Town, South Africa.
