The Europe Race-St Tropez (FRA)-Marseille (FRA)

As an armchair sailor you may dream of ripping up 100 dollar notes as fast as you can, under a cold shower, deprived from sleep, doing an ice-bucket challenge every 5 minutes. For the real life thing, please sign up with folks like Bekking, Cauldrier, Boris Herman or Rosalin Kuiper

For the next best thing we offer you to participate in this years edition of The Europe Race series, in the sailing simulator SailAway. Racing the Sailaway IMOCA 60 in some 40 – 800 NM oceangoing races. During the season there will be some 90+ races all around Europe. Participate in a minimum of 7 races.
