    I don't know too much about it to be honest with you. When do they have this race? Do they have it somewhere different every year?

    Not really.

    I've got mates who do it. But the only time I've ever been sailing, I had to be rescued (actually, this happened twice )

    It's the oldest sailing competition. The winner holds the trophy for 4 years and will defend it against the challenger. The challenger is being defined now in the Louis Vuitton Cup, held in Valencia (Spain).

    Jobby, you had to be rescued twice??!!!! who took you for sailing, Guilligan?

    Yeah I could see being rescued once, could happen to anyone, but twice? With my luck they wouldn't come out for me the second time.

    Well. The first time was in Fiji - I had a quick 'lesson' and headed out with a mate, we could head away from the island we were on, no worries. But turning around and coming back proved ... difficult. So eventually a dude on a jetski came out and turned the boat around and sailed us back.

    Second time was on the Nile river in Egypt. That was just messy. The river runs quite fast in places, but we were heading upriver (using strong wind to go against the flow) - needless to say, I crashed the boat onto shore.

    I'll never attempt to sail again.
