The Race (yachting race)
The Race was a round-the-world sailing race that started in Barcelona, Spain, on December 31, 2000.
The race was created by Bruno Peyron, and it was the first ever non-stop, no-rules, no-limits, round-the-world sailing event, with a $2 million US prize.
The stated objectives of this race were:
- to unite the different maritime cultures of the world
- to gather together the world's premiere yachtsmen and women in a common event
- to promote creativity in ocean sailing
- to ally high technology and the environment
- to create the most spectacular and most prestigious fleet of offshore racers that sailing has ever seen
A second race was planned for 2004, but was cancelled amid controversy that Tracy Edwards had organised a competing event called Oryx Quest.
