 World Match Racing Tour (WMRT), the world's leading professional sailing series, announced the launch of its new website, www.wmrt.com, today. The new website features a fresh modern design, better and more intuitive navigation and a wealth of information about the Tour.
The 'multimedia' section starts with the gallery which has been
designed to give visitors to the website an easier way to view the
pictures taken at the Tour events and to help media compile and
download photos for editorial use. A 'favourites' list can also be
generated and, for registered users, downloaded as a compressed (zip)
