VELUX 5 OCEANS is the oldest, most established, continuously run, single-handed round the world yacht race. It has taken place every four years since 1982.
VELUX 5 OCEANS is the longest and toughest event for any individual in any sport. In 2006 the event gets tougher as the legs between ports is longer. The stopovers are fewer and more compact - with a shorter window of preparation for the next leg. And by the end of it the skippers will have sailed 30,000 miles of ocean alone, facing all the extremes that nature can throw at them... In partnership with Clipper Ventures Plc the organisers of the Velux 5 Oceans Race We were Honoured to be asked to design a Radio Controlled Yacht and to be associated with this amazing Race.
