Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012 Game

Published by at 16:23 under Members,Racing

The challenge is on for the insomniacs amongst us because the addictive online Round the World, Volvo Ocean race game starts on 5th November at 14:00 CET.

The raceĀ  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.

    Hi Guys, remeber to download your iphone or ipad race app!

    Then even RFT might play

  12. Jeremy Sandfordon 04 Nov 2011 at 07:00

    is there an iphone app to manage the game, or just the real race?

  13. Mark Smithon 04 Nov 2011 at 09:27

    Im in Driftking, good luck all.

  14. Alan Clarkeon 04 Nov 2011 at 12:44

    i think you are right jeremy – i can only find one to monitor the race rather than steer your boat. perhaps that will change when the race starts. just 1 hour 15 mins to go before you can get tuning for tomorrow. see you on the start line!

  15. Robin Foster-Tayloron 04 Nov 2011 at 13:22

    I’d rather race my new D-One thank you!

  16. Toby Spelleron 04 Nov 2011 at 15:31

    D-one what about racing Black Pearl occasionally?

  17. Robin Foster-Tayloron 04 Nov 2011 at 16:14

    I’ve bought the D-One to race through the winter and for those times when Janes isn’t free to crew Tripod. It’s been a difficult year domestically but we’ll be back on all cylinders for 2012!

  18. Barry Duceon 04 Nov 2011 at 16:35

    can someone please explain how you start this game?

  19. Robin Foster-Tayloron 04 Nov 2011 at 16:41

    5:4:1:0 and you’re off!

  20. Alan Clarkeon 04 Nov 2011 at 16:48

    i think the website is playing up barry. you are supposed to be able to start pointing your boat in the right direction from 24 hours before – but it isn’t playing ball at the moment

  21. Barry Duceon 04 Nov 2011 at 17:29

    and i thought it was me! thanks Alan, any tips?
    robin goes to show how long since you sailed at TBYC but we use 3.2.1.0,

    havnt see the new D one, is it the same as hoppers Donut ring?

  22. Robin Foster-Tayloron 04 Nov 2011 at 17:42

    As far as I’m aware TBYC don’t run the Volvo Ocean Race.

  23. Barry Duceon 04 Nov 2011 at 18:35

    ahhh hence the 5410.. have you entered robin?

  24. Robin Foster-Tayloron 04 Nov 2011 at 21:36

    Nope, I’m fully occupied already thank you.

  25. Jeremy Sandfordon 05 Nov 2011 at 13:38

    20 mins to the start..say good buy to the family!

  26. Ken Clarkeon 05 Nov 2011 at 22:56

    OK chaps, we are Bluebeard1. My man is keeping me up to scratch as usual. Chris and I may be away for a couple of weeks while we polish the keel, but don’t worry, it worked on the sandhopper!

  27. Steve Healyon 07 Nov 2011 at 22:42

    I dont seem to be able to find any of my friends…..are you all in hiding? Is it me? In the great sprint tradition I started two days late and am feeling a bit lonely out here. How do you do it?????
    Dartagnan1391.

  28. Jeremy Sandfordon 07 Nov 2011 at 23:56

    hi steve, tried searching for you yesterday, but think i got the space between name and numbers wrong. Just found you! if you click on me then look at my friend list you will find most of the others and can link to them that way.
    Gordon and Ken usually stay up late and sneek ahead at night! Steve is pretty good working his way up the field, watch him!
    off to bed – wendy will be glad not to see the laptop glow at 2am tonight!
