The BOC: what's in the crystal ball?

Article Abstract:

The 1995 BOC Challenge solo yachting competition that involves sailing around the world has been marred by the accidental sinking of a competing boat and the drowning of its skipper. Nevertheless, organizers are optimistic that this event will be held once more without much change in its format in 1999.
