Clipper Race starts today!
Sunday, 13 September 2009
The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race starts from the Humber today, with the 10-strong fleet heading for a pitstop in La Rochelle before continuing on their first ocean leg, across the Atlantic to Rio de Janerio in Brazil.
For many of those getting ready to set sail on the first leg of the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race, this is the culmination of years of dreaming of racing around the globe and months of hard training to get here.
Over the course of ten months and 35,000 miles of racing, the yachts and their sails will face some of the most testing sailing conditions possible, including the challenges of the Southern Ocean.
