Imagine for a moment, spending the night on board a large yacht, being roughly woken in the pitch dark and ordered on deck Every so often you will be totally drenched, very suddenly, in salt water You will be sharing the same cramped space with 14 other people for a whole year Your stomach, when not affected by seasickness, will be hit by the competitive tension and nervousness that afflicts all sportspeople You will be obliged to concentrate without cease The slightest loss of focus could cost someone their life.

Paragraph 1:

For the eight crews taking part in the Round-the-world yachting race, this has been daily life since they left Britain eleven months ago Now, after racing 50,000 across kilometers of ocean, they are soon due home While most of us have worked, slept, taken a holiday, these crews have sailed and sailed, day after day, night after night, in weather conditions that would test any human This is the reality of ocean yacht racing, which bears little resemblance to the popular image of sailing- the quick sprint around a lake before returning ashore for a meal and a warm bath.

a huge sense of achievement’, she says

Paragraph 5:

Inevitably, there are tensions The kind of people who choose to take part in races like this tend to motivated and strong-willed On a trivial level, there are the usual arguments about things like cleaning, tidying, personal hygiene, even the way people snore Row on a boat must be addressed immediately Left to develop, they get much worse On London Light they have done this by having a meeting where problems can be discussed and resolved by majority vote Cooperation is the key, and everyone can have their say The London is one of the few boats that has never lost any crew early because of a personality clash.
