The race  lasts for nearly 9 months and mimicks the real event.

In 2009 there were several boats entered from TBYC and the rivalry set in.

You can run a boat as a share and split the load if you wish.

Please feel free to leave your TBYC boatname once you have signed up as a comment on this item then you will be able to track their progress.
