A Look Back to the 1997-98 Whitbread Round The World Race (predecessor to the Volvo Ocean Race) video: More than half the skippers who entered the 1997-98 race had never previously competed in the Whitbread which may sound like a throwback to the early Corinthian days, but was in fact a reflection of how badly the top professionals of the day wanted the title on their CV. Among them was a Californian called Paul Cayard, who was famous in America's Cup circles, but unproven offshore. So no-one rated him very seriously as skipper of EF Language but he was to have a profound influence on the evolution of race, raising professional standards to levels previously unseen.
