Cut and paste from Earthrace's website,
Colin Walker
Colin Walker is a biodiesel expert based in the UK, and is assisting Earthrace with sourcing fuel and sponsorships in the European and Asian areas
I think he might be legit guys.

You guys are blowing up for no reason. Where do you get that hotmail.co.uk isn't a valid address? I just googled the f_cking thing and it comes up ok. Besides, the guy put the valid www.earthrace.net address up. I don't "think" it's a scam. Look it up, Microsoft owns "hotmail.co.uk"...sheesh
Earthrace will take help from anybody and everybody. They're offering a 15% cut for anybody who brings them a paying passenger. Maybe this Colin Walker is just somebody looking for a cut, but still helping the big picture. (EDIT: looks like he's legit after all)
I've been following it since middle of last year. Before a certain turn of events I was going to buy a seat on the Panama Canal leg. Sh!t happens and I couldn't put the money there. If I win the lottery I'd buy the whole rest of the trip.
If you REALLY want to help, go on their website and buy a t-shirt, poster, DVD, or follow the list of "7 ways to help Earthrace".
Regardless of whether you give two sh!ts about biodiesel, or the race, or whatever, that boat is just bad@ss. I wish I was there. I'd love to be on the leg riding through the Suez Canal and across the Med.
