PRB powers away from the start line at the beginning of the Barcelona World Race.
The Barcelona World Race starts on 11th November, 2007 and for the first time, this race will see the world’s best professional sailors from both solo and fully crewed disciplines coming together to compete against each other in teams of two. Nine teams will race 25,000 miles over three months across the planet’s most hostile and challenging oceans in high-performance IMOCA Open 60 monohulls. Never before has a two-handed, non-stop around the world race been staged and there has never been a crewed, non-stop round the world race in monohulls. This concept opens up a whole new world of possibilities in the sport of extreme offshore sailing both in terms of competition and race communications.
