| The
crew volunteers, as they are known in this race, are from all
walks of life and professions including a student, head teacher,
publisher, Formula 1 engineer, a housewife, a salmon farmer
and a car salesman. Each crew volunteer has paid a fee of £3,450
for a berth which includes two five-day training sessions, pre-race
training and all the extras such as race-branded team clothing.
Interestingly the berths on yachts were sold within six weeks
of the event’s announcement last July.
The eight professional skippers and eight
mates who will take command of the yachts were announced in
February but the crew members have only just been placed in
their teams at a special crew annoucement last weekend in
Southampton.
