About

Calling all adventurers: are you ready to conquer the world's toughest oceans?

The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is an adventure like no other. It's a record-breaking 40,000 nautical mile race around the world on 70-foot ocean racing yachts, and the 2025-26 edition is set to kick off next summer.

Now the team is on the lookout for the next crew of intrepid sailors, but with no previous sailing experience required, have you got what it takes?

The Clipper Race is an event for those eager to test their limits beyond belief. Over the 29 and 30 November, you're invited to Gunwharf Quays, to find out how to take part in the next edition.

Hear about the race from someone who has been there, stared Mother Nature in the eye, and taken all she can muster.

Attendees will find out more about the selection process, training, the race, the fleet, stopovers, personal logistics and, most importantly, the Race Crew.

Go along - you'll either walk away inspired or scared. One thing you won't be is bored!

There will be two presentations taking place over the two days, as well as the opportunity to get on board a Clipper 70 for a free boat tour and to see for yourself where you could be living!
