The 14 crews of the BT Global Challenge all embarked on the " world's toughest yacht race " with one trophy in mind, the Princess Royal Trophy, the prize for the overall winners.
Each leg winner would receive the Courtaulds Trophy, for the fastest time from one stopover to another, taking time penalties / redresses into consideration and therefore being first into the next port of call. Alongside these trophies, there were a number of other awards given out in recognition of such things as safety, seamanship and sail repair ( to name only three ).
