by BT Global Challenge 28 Jun 2001 09:36 BST

On Saturday 30th June you can experience the tense final moments of the world's toughest yacht race, the BT Global Challenge, via a live webcast broadcast from the official website.

Focussing on the ultimate leg of the 10-month yacht race, from La Rochelle to Southampton, the live webcast will run off the site from 10.00am (09:00 GMT) until the last yacht arrives home.

The webcast will capture the sweat, tears and celebrations of the skippers and crews as they fight to finish the intense final leg. Live feeds will be transmitted from each of the 12 yachts as well as from the tracking helicopter, which will be supplying unique aerial race footage.
