From May 24 until May 30, players will take part in Formula 18, with boats bearing the Steering the Course branding as they race around a virtual racetrack in Copenhagen.
The number one ranked eSailor in this challenge will qualify for the 2021 Electronic Sailing World Championship PlayOffs – and if that player is not a woman, then the number one ranked woman will qualify as well.
