Cutty Sark was built in 1869 to serve the China tea trade and owner John Willis had aspirations for his ship to be the fastest in this trade. He also wanted Cutty Sark to beat rival ship Thermopylae.

Can you race at top speed across the Indian Ocean and beat the other ships? Answer questions and take part in our ship-themed tasks as you try to get to the precious tea cargo first.

Watch the video below to find out how to design your board game, and follow the instructions below to take the Cutty Sark challenge!
