THOUSANDS of children in Liverpool will be living a virtual life on the ocean waves for the next 11 months.
Every school in the city is being invited to use a special internet classroom to follow the Clipper 05/06 Round the World Yacht Race which starts in Liverpool on September 18.
To launch the programme, pupils aged between six and 16 can go to Liverpool's Albert Dock to see how the crews are going to live and race aboard the 68ft yachts.
The fleet is undergoing last minute training on the Irish Sea to ensure they are fully prepared for the race.
During the school visits pupils will be given a tour by Clipper crew members who will show them how they use satellite technology to enable schools to track the fleets, as well as how they cook and clean during a force 10 gale.
St Vincent's School for the Blind in West Derby was the first school to take a tour of the yachts.
