There are many ways to participate in Round the World Races
1. Your middle name is Russel Coutts
2. Your last name is Ellison and a distant relative owns a software company and recently resigned from the board of Apple Computers stating the reason that it infringed on his sailing time
3. You were lucky enough to be selected for Team ABN Amro 'B' competing in the Volvo
4. You have enough money to PAY for a berth on one of Sir Blyth's racing boats - on the bright side it's still cheaper than owning your own boat, but only just
Sound advice from Ron - get on the water, work your way up and then you will see that you are in demand
all the best
