 1 circumnavigation, 10 ocean racing yachts, 40,000 miles, 15 races, 13 countries, 1 winner.
40,000 miles of ocean racing and around 450 people face the challenge of a lifetime. The Clipper 11-12 Round the World Yacht Race starts in August 2011- ten, stripped down 68-foot yachts will embark on a full circumnavigation of the globe. 40,000 miles long, it will take eleven months to complete the circumnavigation.
"It's the only race in the world where taxi drivers rub shoulders with chief executives, vicars mix with housewives, students work alongside bankers, nurses work with vets and doctors team up with rugby players. It's an experience that will change people's lives".
Showing similarities to the way the Daring Fleet is run, all the boats are identical and budgets equal, no one has a head start. For more information go to http://www.clipperroundtheworld.com |
