The Antarctica Cup International Yacht Race 2005 will make history
by Bob Wiliams on 22 Jul 2003
In the 300 years since the first navigators ventured into the great Southern Ocean there is still a stretch of the ocean that has never been raced across.
Legs 4, 5, and 6 of the Antarctica Cup traverse the 3,200 nautical miles of Southern Ocean between Cape Horn and directly South of Cape Agulhus, the southern most point of Africa.
Competitors in the inaugural Antarctica Cup International Yacht Race will be the first men and women in history to race across this stretch of ocean.
Each crew member completing in the race will be presented with a certificate and medal to commemorate this achievement.
