Adventure
This steel yacht, formerly a BT Challenge yacht, will be crewed by members of the Royal Corps of Signals within the British Army. They are taking part in an adventurous training expedition around the world. Having left the UK in late June, the expedition, covering 33,000 nautical miles, is expected to take approximately 11 months to complete with the route divided into 10 legs which in total will involve up to 140 serving officers and soldiers, mainly members of the Royal Corps of Signals.
