Members of Glencoe Boat Club enjoyed being part of the start of the final leg of the 2024 Round The World Clipper Race, from a blustery hillside near Dunstaffnage maria by Oban this month!. Corrag our Skiff set out on the water, joined with crews from Lorn, Appin and Isle of Seil Coastal Rowing Clubs for a grand day out on the water. What an experience!
97 boats set sail on this leg, leg 14 of the Round The World Clipper race.
The grand finale is 26-28 July as the finish line concludes in Portsmouth.
About the Round the World Clipper Race
“The Clipper Race is one of the biggest challenges of the natural world and an endurance test like no other.”
With no previous sailing experience necessary, before signing up for the intensive training programme, it’s a record-breaking 40,000 nautical mile race around the world on a 70-foot ocean racing yacht. The next edition will be the Clipper 2025-26 Race and will begin in late summer 2025. The route is divided into eight legs and between 13 and 16 individual races including six ocean crossings. You can choose to complete the full circumnavigation or select one or multiple legs.
