ABOUT THE CLIPPER RACE
Raced by everyday people, the Clipper Race is an endurance challenge like no other. Race Crew come from all walks of life and nations around the world to tackle one or multiple legs of the record-breaking circumnavigation. They train from a complete novice to become an ocean racer as part of a team on board a 70-foot ocean racing yacht. Together you’ll face the world’s most extreme ocean conditions and mental challenges before returning victorious.
Led by a professional Skipper and First Mate, you can choose to compete in the full 40,000 nautical mile circumnavigation, or test yourself on one or more of the eight unique race legs. This bucket list experience can see you taking on the notorious Atlantic, Roaring Forties and North Pacific including stopovers in some of the world's most spectacular destinations.
