Leo Zullo, Marketing Director at Digital Jesters said: "When we signed Virtual Skipper 3, top of our wish-list was getting Ellen involved, so we are delighted she has agreed to come on board. What's particularly refreshing is how keen Ellen is to get involved as much as possible ? from working with the media, to using the software to launch her new trimaran in February. She's an amazing sportswoman and one of this country's most inspirational figures and we're looking forward to enjoying a long relationship with Ellen and her team."
Ellen MacArthur said: "It is great to be involved in such an exciting sailing game as Virtual Skipper 3. It completely captures the emotions and challenges that you have to face when racing and evokes the demands, skills and techniques necessary at the top-end of competitive sailing. Few will get the opportunity to race at this level of the sport in real life ? it is a demanding and full-on profession.
But Virtual Skipper 3 can give you the inside track into this world of competition making it a must for those with an interest in the sport and for those that have never even stepped foot on a boat before it offers a tough and exciting challenge. It's an awesome game that will catch on fast making it the one everyone will want to play. Go for it!"
Virtual Skipper 3 is by far the most advanced simulation of competitive sailing ever released for home PCs. With a host of features designed to offer everyone an astonishing ride, it looks set to take the thrill of the sport further than ever before.
