Nine-months-worth of digital assets from Quokka's live race coverage are mapped to the competitors' 32,000 nautical miles of racing, as recorded by GPS satellite. Each interlocking spread of the book presents the prevailing content for a two-day period. When tiled together, the book's spreads cover a 10'x40' foot wall with a map (and story) of the entire race.10" x 7". Six-color, 200pages, lots of four-color, four-point type and hairlines (a pressman's nightmare).

Each spread contains multiple layers of content and context. The textual narrative formed by email content is treated with emphatic scale and color effects inspired by comic book design. Sequential stills from the competitors’ video transmissions are also used throughout the book.
