==British Steel Challenge 1992/3==

The first race started in Southampton in September 1992, with 10 identical {{convert|67|ft|m|abbr=on}} boats sailed by a skipper and 13 crew. There were a number of serious rigging screw failures in the Southern Ocean and ''British Steel II'', after the initial success of winning the first leg of the race, was dismasted in mid-Southern Ocean. However, she managed to motor sail safely to Hobart under jury rig. She was re-rigged in time to rejoin the race for the next leg to Cape Town.

The first race winner was John Chittenden and crew in ''Nuclear Electric''. Chittenden went on to win the 2001 Yachtsman of the Year Award.
