“This is a tremendous opportunity to show our affiliates how much we appreciate their contribution to our business,” said 1&1 Chairman Andreas Gauger. “In addition to meeting the crew of this high-tech yacht, they will take a sea tour and enjoy local culture and entertainment.

According to the company, “One affiliate will be chosen as the 18th man and will be allowed to sit on the 1&1 boat during this qualifying race. Racing tradition states that every competing boat must carry 100 kilograms (220 lbs.) or an 18th man that is not part of the crew.â€
