An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Though the route is changed to accommodate various ports of call, the race typically departs Europe in September or October, and in recent years has had either nine or ten legs, with in-port races at many of the stopover cities. The original course was designed to follow the route of the square riggers which had carried cargo around the world during the 19th Century. The race does not offer a cash prize, as the feat of competing is presented as sufficient reward; however Waterford Crystal trophies are awarded to the winners of each leg and the race overall.
