Hi Folks,

Just went in with a friend for just 5 Euro each and was blown away by how simple and easy going it is in there. The interactive displays are easy to navigate and keep you standing for just long enough to get the info you want to hear so you can talk about it with friends when you leave. Some quotes I took away with spring to mind such as "My crew bag contains for 40 days...." What do you do about cleaning? One person on the helm says, "I don't need to clean often so I can go 40 days and nights without changing!"

Their is a really cool race simulator with coffee grinder (Main and spinnaker hoist) as well as Helm (Skipper) position to get stuck in to.

All in all a lot of fun, with everything you and family ever would need to know about the race and the events. Telefonica is actually in the water nearby and their is a "spare" one permanently out of the water at the entrance.

Highly recommended!

James
