Nariida the Wally 105 owned by Morten Bergesen wins the Transatlantic Maxi Rolex Cup, taking 10 days, 14 hours, 1 minute and 48 seconds to complete the 2,650 nautical mile trip from tenerife to St Maarten in the Caribbean.

The event which was tracked by MarineTrack was the first of it's kind to be organised by the yacht club Costa Smeralda and is hoped to be the first of many due to it's success.

Peter Harrison's 115ft Sojana was second approximately 130 miles behind and Andre Auberton's Dark Shadow was third.

Nearly two weeks in, 576 nautical miles completed and 1976 to go, the Atlantic Rowing Race 2007 is the ultimate test of the human spirit.

24 boats set off and 22 are still competing with two retirements, one of which is unknown and the other being due to a man overboard incident, which thankfully ended with both rowers returning home safely.

After a perfect start, the fleet have come up against some tricky conditions with an Easterly wind helping push the boats on into the Atlantic, but making the sea choppy and confused. Two boats have lost their drogues, three have broken steering and two have broken rudders. Lets hope things improve for them!

Only 21 miles seperate the two leading boats and only 80 miles seperate the top 6. The event is being tracked by MarineTrack and you can see all the latest at www.atlanticrowingrace2007.co.uk

The world's greatest offshore powerboat race is on track!

The Round Britain Powerboat Race 2008 has taken to a new dimension as MarineTrack are confirmed as the official tracking provider for the event.

The event which starts on the 21 st June and runs over 9 legs and ten days is tipped as the marine event of the year and MarineTrack will be bringing the worlds most gruelling offshore powerboat race online.

MarineTrack's Sales & Marketing Manager Damian McCann said: "It's going to be out of this world with a huge amount of boats already entered. We're dead excited and proud as punch to be a part of what is a historical event. Logistically and technically it's going to be a challenge but we're putting everything into it to make it a great online experience. As the boats blast round Britain, tracking will give it a new dimension and allows everyone with access to the internet to get involved. We've worked with some great events recently with the Clipper race, the Woodvale Transatlantic Rowing Challenge, to name a few, but the Round Britain Powerboat race should be a corker!"
