Description:

This set of four collectible phone cards celebrates the exhilarating world of yacht racing, specifically the 1993-94 Whitbread 60 Round the World Sailing Yacht Race—a prestigious and demanding international competition. Each card bears the AmeriVox logo, featuring a bald eagle over a U.S. map, and is marked with a $5 USA denomination. The cards honor sponsors such as Heineken beer, Yamaha, and Musio, highlighting the vital commercial partnerships that support high-profile sailing events.

The first card showcases a close-up of a victorious sailor dressed in a distinctive yellow and white jacket adorned with Yamaha and Musio logos. He proudly holds the Heineken Whitbread 60 trophy, his expression reflecting triumph and satisfaction—capturing the emotional peak of success after intense competition. The background suggests a harbor scene, enhancing the maritime theme. Prominently displayed is the Whitbread branding, featuring a triangular blue and red logo with the race years and slogan.

The second and fourth cards depict the yachts in their natural environment—gliding swiftly through ocean waves beneath dramatic skies. The second card highlights the Yamaha-sponsored yacht, with its large ochre-colored sails billowing in the wind as the vessel leans slightly under sail pressure—an iconic image of power and elegance in competitive sailing. The fourth card features a white-hulled yacht, flying a red ensign, with taut sails angled against the open sea. The turbulent water emphasizes speed and the race’s intensity.

The third card captures the emotional spirit of the competition, showing a different sailor raising the Heineken trophy overhead with a joyful smile. Behind him, sponsor logos such as Omega and BT dot the backdrop, emphasizing the event’s international scope and corporate backing. His attire and expression convey camaraderie and celebration among competitors who have endured and triumphed in one of the world’s most challenging sailing races. Collectively, these cards chronicle both the human achievement and technical prowess emblematic of the Whitbread Round the World Race.
