Amateurs Race 70 Foot Boats
Around the World ??
The 40,000 mile Clipper 2015-16 Round the World Yacht Race will begin in London on Aug. 30th.
The fleet of twelve identical Tony  Castro designed Clipper 70s will race in a series of 16 individual races, with the team with the best cumulative score winning the Clipper Race Trophy. Each team is led by a professional skipper with an all-amateur crew.
It's regarded as the toughest endurance challenge on the planet. Yet it's undertaken by amateurs and novices: Corinthian adventurers who receive intensive training before embarking on the world's longest ocean race. Discover the diverse range of characters who take on this huge feat of human endeavour; what motivates them and how they cope under pressure.
The race was established by legendary British yachtsman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston (the first person to sail solo non-stop around the world in 1968-9) and was created to give people from all walks of life the opportunity to experience ocean racing and the rare opportunity to complete a circumnavigation.
