	THE WHITBREAD ROUND THE WORLD SAILING RACE HISTORY INTERNATIONAL YACHTING EVENTS VOLVO OCEAN RACE
		It would be a race that pushed the endurance of the crews and boats to the outer limits as they navigated sweltering Doldrums, freezing oceans filled with icebergs, and gales that blew unabated for weeks on end -- a race that would be considered the Mt. Everest of ocean racing.
		The RNSA and Whitbread provided race organisers with the administrative and financial critical mass they needed to push the event from the drawing boards to the oceans.
		The Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race is now known as the Volvo Ocean Race, and is the world's most prestigious yacht race.

	Volvo Ocean Race 2005/6
		Although a 'round the world yacht race' had been considered throughout the last century, it needed the financial support and organisational expertise which Whitbread and the RNSA were able to put together.
		During the first race, communication between the fleet and organisers was based on a weekly position report to a local coast guard, but from 1993-94, satellite equipment enabled the yachts to file their position every six hours.
		Tragedies apart, the race was a huge success, and one of the main lessons learnt for the next race was that survival in these most exacting conditions were just as important as speed.

	Volvo Ocean Race History
		The 1993-94 race is notable for many reasons - not least for the battle between the Maxis and the new Whitbread 60s, for the professionalism shown by the crews, and for the high tech equipment on board which so altered the face of ocean racing.
		With the Whitbread 60 being the only class of yacht for the next race and with certain sail restrictions being lifted, there was every expectation that 1997-98 would see even more records broken as the crews drove their boats to ever higher achievements.
		As predicted pre-race, these Whitbread 60s provided some thrilling and close racing, but due to the similarities of the class, once a boat managed to break away from the pack, she proved to be hard to catch.

		His five campaigns in the Whitbread Round the World Race ran like clockwork, and resulted in an elapsed-time victory in the 1985-'86 circumnavigation.
		Since the Whitbread Race has eliminated the maxi fleet from its next edition, there is little surprise that the Swiss ocean racer has decided to swap tactics for targets to conduct his own round-the-world race beginning this September -- the Grand Mistral.
		Sweden's Ludde Ingvall, who trounced the fleet en route to a dominant win in last summer's Fastnet Race with the ultra-light maxi Nicorette, was among the first to show interest in the Grand Mistral, and became the first to place a deposit on a boat for the race.

		The competitors in The Whitbread 1997-1998 were accustomed to the presence of video cameras as each crew member was given one and instructed to keep it running during emotional and pressure-filled moments in the heat of competition.
		According to ESPN sailing analyst Gary Jobson, a world class sailor who has authored 11 books on sailing, "The Whitbread 1997-1998 was the most competitive race in history, because all of the boats involved were nearly identical and, often, as little as 48 seconds separated competitors at the end of a 3,000-mile leg.
