The Click&Boat Challenge is a huge success! More than 5,600 participants are competing in the most popular private race on the Virtual Regatta Ocean Racing Simulator. You too can join the race by entering the code CLICKANDBOAT. If you haven’t started yet, you will automatically be placed in the middle of the pack, sailing with the Click&Boat colors, and you will be entered to win a €3,000 Click&Boat voucher if you finish the race. Good luck!

NB: By entering the code CLICKANDBOAT, your boat will be designed in our beautiful colors- pink and white!

At the moment competition is tight with all the actual and virtual sailors navigating since Sunday, November 8th in the 9th edition of the Vendée Globe! In the south-east of the Azores at the moment, our sponsor François Gabart, supported by his MerConcept team, is at the forefront!

More than 730,000 players are taking part in the Vendée Globe on Virtual Regatta!

It doesn’t matter if you are already an expert in e-sailing or just discovering this amazing concept- Virtual Regatta is a free simulator accessible to everyone.

Besides… This year we you will have an extra competitor during the race! You will be able to compete not only against the Vendée Globe sailors, but also against the Click&Boat Team. We will be sailing online with our beautiful boats in our company colors! 

How does it work?

  1. Register on the Virtual Regatta website ( Remember you can register at any time during the race)
  2. Enter the partner code “CLICKANDBOAT“, to join the Click&Boat race
  3. Play throughout the Vendée Globe

You can take a look at the step-by-step guide to registration here.

At the end of the race, the 3 winners (finishers within the assigned time) will be rewarded with Click&Boat vouchers as follows:

A €500 voucher for the big winner
A €250 voucher for the runner-up who crosses the finish line
A €150 voucher for the third on the podium

And if that’s not enough. For those who participate in the Vendée Globe under the Click&Boat colors, you will have a chance to be randomly selected to win a €3,000 voucher to use towards your next sailing holidays with us! But be careful, you must cross the finish line before March 15, 2021 at 5 PM. 

The Vendée Globe: solo, non-stop and unassisted

The Vendée Globe is the only round-the-world race that is sailed solo, non-stop and without assistance- it’s no wonder that it attacts so many adventurers eager for an extraordinary sailing experience! This famous race was created by the great sailor Philippe Jeantot, who marked the start of the first edition on November 26, 1989 in Les Sables d’Olonne, France. 

The course of this race, often called “The Everest of the Seas,” stretches over 40,075 kilometers and passes around three capes: Good Hope, Leeuwin and Horn. The skippers first sail in the Atlantic Ocean, then in the Indian Ocean and finally make their way back up the Atlantic!

This exciting nautical event will start in Les Sables d’Olonne on Sunday, November 8, 2020 at 1:02 PM!

Sail the open seas online with the Virtual Regatta

Virtual Regatta, an offshore and inshore racing simulator, allows more than a million players each year to challenge real skippers on real races. 

While you enjoy the “slow life” of sailing from the comfort of your home,  feel the thrill of virtually navigating an IMOCA around the world, and challenging distinguished sailors like François Gabart in The Vendée Globe 2020-2021 race.

Vendee Globe Winner Francois Gabart

A Click&Boat ambassador since 2018, François Gabart, helped by his team Mer Concept, will be sailing virtually:

“I am delighted to be part of the adventure with Click&Boat and to join the online community of players on Virtual Regatta. It will be an exciting experience that we will live together. In these difficult times, we realize we can’t do everything we once did, so this is an excellent opportunity to meet again. It’s a special edition, I can’t wait to face other players and be part of this great adventure” says the youngest winner (29 years old) of the Vendée Globe to date.
