The Whitbread
 
 
 
  As you can guess this is a page about the Whitbread Around the World Yacht Race. It has only just come up so it frankly sucks at the moment. As of 15/2/1998 at 00:10:00 GMT these were the positions of the yachts:

EF Language 0.00
Swedish Match +104.9
Toshiba +130.0
Merit Cup� � +166.7
Innovation Kvaerner +167.6
BrunelSunergy +285.5
Chessie Racing +309.8
Silk Cut +848.4
EF Education +1408.3

Silk Cut got into their current position after hitting a submerged ice berg in the dark. They broke the mast at the second spreader. Ef Education broke their mast and are going into a port for repairs. They are cruising at around 9 knots on their tiny emergency sail.

As a New Zealander I have to hope that Merit Cup wins this leg and the entire race. Thanks For coming.
