What is the Clipper Race?
The Clipper 2017-18 Race is one of the biggest challenges of the natural world. Regarded as an endurance test like no other, participants need have no precious sailing experience to take part. The race itself takes place over a record breaking 40,000 nautical miles and is divided into eight legs and 14-16 individual races.
Participants can choose to complete the full circumnavigation or take part in individual legs. What makes this race unique and special? It is the only race in the world where the organisers provide a supply of twelve identical yachts to ordinary, everyday people with only a fully qualified skipper to safely man the crew!
