The Spirit of Canada SpiritCam is now up and running at the build site of the new Open 60 Spirit of Canada.

Special thanks to FileBank (www.filebank.ca) for supplying us with the camera, this will allow people from around the world to view one of the latest technologies in boat building and be up to date with the Spirit of Canada project from their own desk.

To view live pictures of the build of the new boat, go to: http://www.spiritofcanada.net/webcam/index.html. or click on the SpiritCam button under Quick Links on the homepage. The picture automatically refreshes every five seconds.

Spirit of Canada is a state of the art 60 foot racing machine, these boats are among the fastest boats in sailing – built of kevlar and carbon fibre using the latest hi-tech structures, they are designed to be as light and as fast as possible but strong enough to withstand the worst the seas can throw at them.

The Open 60 is being built for the 5-Oceans around the world race in 2006. The 5-Oceans is the newly branded name of Around Alone, sailing’s ultimate solo challenge. The 5-Oceans race is billed as “the longest, toughest race for an individual in any sport.”
