1993–1994 Whitbread Round the World Race

November 2019 May 2015 1993–94 Whitbread Round the World Race 6th 15 Whitbread 60<br/ >Maxi NZ Endeavour 1989–90 1997–98 The 1993–94 Whitbread Round the World Race was the sixth edition of the around-the-world sailing event. The race was won by Grant Dalton the maxi 'New Zealand Endeavour'. As with prior races, the 1993-1994 Whitbread was run to "mixed class" rules. However a new purpose-built Whitbread boat—the W60 was introduced. As with previous years a handicap was applied to different boats based on their race rating. Some W60 competitors were not keen on running both Maxis and W60s together once it became evident some of the old Maxis were only as fast as the W60 class. Some W60 competitors wished to ban Maxis, however this was never realistic given the large investments the Maxi owners had made in the expectation of being able to race. There were also concerns over whether enough new W60 boats would be ready. Despite the closeness of the finishes, some W60 skippers claimed to be in a 'completely different boat race' to Grant Dalton skippering a maxi.
