Volvo Ocean Race - Online Game
« on: April 22, 2012, 05:39:02 PM »
Hi all

There are at least a couple of us taking part in the Volvo ocean race (round the world) game. It would be good to get a few more on board.

The game allows you to pit your sailing skills against around 200,000 other sailers (yes it's a cram at the start line), and a bit of weather knowledge also comes in handy.

This leg sees the boats go from Itaji to Miami - a perfect short hop for honing your sailing skills. Boats are free, with additional options costing a small amount

I have three boats - two with the Pro sails pack, and one with the standard or free sail pack. Time commitment is from 5 mins perday upwards, depending on your commitment.

So if you've considered your self to be a gun virtual sailer, or just want to give it a go, then join up. Next race starts in just over 11 hours.

You can join in the fun here: http://www.volvooceanracegame.com/

My boats are SweetSour 1,2, and 3. If you join up post your comments / questions / boat names below


Cheers, Andrew
