Clipper Round the World Race Start Celebrations

The Clipper Race Start Festival will be open to the public from 30 August. There will be an international event filled with live music and food, an opportunity to tour a Clipper 70 ocean racing yacht which will be home to the sailors for up to a month at a time.

Visitors can also experience a motor tour on a Clipper Race Training yacht which locals will recognise as a frequent sight on the Solent throughout the year.

At the heart of the festival will be the opportunity to meet some of the 700 Race Crew who have trained to take part in this challenge and hear the inspiring stories from past crew.

More information on how to reserve a place on the yacht tours and what's on can be found on our website.
