A race around the world in 10 feet yachts. This race will start on the 10th January 2009 in the Bahamas. The competitors can take their own route but have to stop at the ports of Panama, Darwin and Cape Town. The finish is back in the Bahamas. The only price is beating the 1987 record of Serge Testa.
