Clipper 11-12 Round the World Yacht Race – be there!

Clipper Round the World Yacht Race

Be part of the Clipper 11-12 Round the World Yacht Race  which starts from Southampton on Sunday 31st July. A flotilla of yachts is expected to escort the the 10 Clipper yachts with their 450 crew from Southampton and over the start line. Commodore Yachting will be joining the flotilla and offering places to crew members to take part in this once in a lifetime event.

The ten yachts are each named after a city, region or country around the world and will create an exciting yet emotional spectacle as they set off on the 40,000 mile race.

For the south coast sailing community the event offers the chance to be a part of the first round the world yacht race to start from the iconic sailing grounds of the Solent since 2004.

Commodore Yachting will be joining the flotilla and offering places to crew members to be part of history on the start line  as the Clipper fleet pass in formation down Southampton Water and cross the historic Royal Yacht Squadron line at the start of their epic journey around the world.

The Clipper Race organisers are keen to make the event one that everyone can be a part of and Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, founder and Chairman of the Clipper Race and the first man to sail solo and non-stop around the world, says, “I am personally very keen to ensure as many local boat owners, crew and general boating enthusiasts as possible have the opportunity to enjoy this event.”

We are offering places on yachts for £250.00 per person for the weekend during which there will be the opportunity to enjoy some great sailing as well as being part of the flotilla.
