Founded in 1996 by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail solo and non-stop around the world, the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is one of the toughest endurance challenges on the planet.
This epic biennial sailing event sees more than 700 crew race over 40,000 nautical miles around the world on 70-foot ocean racing yachts, travelling across six continents over a span of 11 months.
The next edition will be the Clipper Race 2023-2024, which will begin in late summer 2023. The route is divided into eight legs and will feature between 13 and 16 individual races, including six ocean crossings.
