To get some sense of what it feels
like to race this catamaran, imagine
being strapped to the bonnet of
Jenson Button’s car in a mad free for
all against the best rally drivers in the
world. And most of the time you are
only on two wheels!

We build a sailing game built around our team
and the extreme 40. Fans can play on mobile or
online to win prizes and bragging rights over
friends with results going into a global leader
board. At a live event, attendees can play a
physical version of game in a branded marquee
in the public village.
Any time that 33 South wins a race, the
parameters from that race (ie wind strength,
course configuration and length) are uploaded
into the race so fans can race against our time
under the same conditions, almost in real time.
This will engage live attendees as well as our
global fan base on a large scale, allowing for
excellent interaction and engagement.
