Clipper Round The World Race - Live Finish Video, Liverpool, England, UK
Clipper Round
the World Yacht Race (streamed live July 28, 2018):
Over 700 everyday people from 41 nations have taken on the
toughest oceans on the planet, spanning triumph and tragedy, in the 2017-18
edition of the unique Clipper Round The World Yacht Race. The amateur crews
endured massive storms, hurricane force winds, freezing temperatures to
stifling tropical heat, medical evacuations and a shipwreck. This marks the end
of a year-long challenge (49 weeks) over 40,000 nautical miles in 13 races
between six continents in identical 70ft ocean racing yachts.
By doing something really difficult you have a sense of achievement. Something to be proud of for the rest of your life. By taking on Mother Nature’s toughest challenges, you will accomplish something very special and create memories to cherish. The Clipper Race is unlike anything else on the planet.
“It takes an adventurous kind of person to take on a global challenge of this scale. You’ve got to go out there and experience it to achieve it."--Sir Robin Knox-Johnston
