Is anyone is doing this years Volvo Ocean Race Game on the internet? There is now a group called "Sprint 15 sailors" where we can meet up for some banter and some winter season armchair sailing.
I'm hoping this group will be a worldwide forum for Sprint15 sailors so join up even if you dont want to be bothered looking after the boat.

For those who don't know about this game its run every couple of years and tracks the route and dates of the real round the world Volvo ocean race.
You control a 70ft ocean going yacht and sail it round the world (well round the inside of a very big computer).
There are currently 150,000 boats in the race worldwide, its free to play and you can win a new Volvo.
Join up from the link above and then add yourself to the Sprint 15 sailor group. (Go to "groups", select the public tab, we are on page 21 or send me your boat name and I'll add you)
Last years overall winner was a Sprint15 sailor from Spain!
Happy winter sailing all
