Some 50 containers will be needed to construct the Race Village. About 300,000 to 500,000 visitors are expected to visit the race village. The world’s premier ocean racing event lasts some ten months. Singapore sees the event as a step towards its vision of having 17 million visitor arrivals by the year 2015.
The six teams taking part in the 2008 race will have to deal with unpredictable weather and heavy shipping traffic, making it one of the toughest race adventures in the event’s history since it started in 1973.
