The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is the only event of its type. Anyone, even if they have never stepped on a boat before, can join the adventure.

The 2015-2016 race starts August 30th and is the 10th edition of the event started by Sir Robin Knox-Johnson, the first man to sail solo non-stop around the world in 1968-69.

12 teams will sail 70-foot sailboats across eight legs, 14 individual races and six continents, visiting some of the most iconic ports around the globe.
