An ambitious project for the world's most ambitious race!

Round The World Yacht Race

The website is Skylab’s most ambitious project to date.

We were asked to develop the Round The World Yacht Race digital strategy, websites and brand identity. The  new website launched to great acclaim coinciding with the start of the prestigious global ocean race.

The race consists of ten teams competing over seven legs covering 35,000 miles  of exhilarating ocean racing. The race is a truly global sporting event with a TV and newspaper audience in excess of 200 million.

With our in-depth knowledge of digital technologies, Skylab  developed a Race Viewer that tracks yacht positions with satellite tracking and Google  Maps integration. We also developed a fully-featured content management system providing news, blogs, podcasts, video and photographs taken onboard the yachts during the race and delivered to the site instantly. Website visitors can also provide comments and get involved in the race.

“In creating the official website for the   Clipper Round The World Yacht Race, Skylab has successfully delivered a world-class solution through innovative creative thinking and cutting edge design and technology.

The website has elevated the Clipper   brand and provided tremendous value   for race sponsors. The website was so successful that we commissioned Skylab   to create additional websites for other  company divisions as well as to re-brand  both the Race and the group identities.

Clipper’s online presence now sits   comfortably alongside some of the  biggest sporting brands in the world.”
