Even if you have never sailed before, our mandatory four level programme will enable you to take on some of the most extreme environments on the planet with confidence.
The Clipper Race will challenge you to step outside your comfort zone, stretching both your physical and mental limits. Whether you're looking for the challenge of epic ocean storms, facing 15m waves and hurricane-force winds, or the tactical challenge of navigating the fickle winds of the doldrums, now you can prove to yourself what you are truly capable of.
It's hard to put into words the incredible moments that you will experience as Race Crew at sea. Skies painted with brightly lit stars, the sheer power of towering waves, drifting alongside dolphins in the doldrums. Ocean racing will enable you to encounter a true ocean wilderness, and all of the wonders that come with it.
Led by a professional Skipper and First Mate, you can choose to compete in the full 40,000 nautical mile circumnavigation, or test yourself on one or more of the eight unique race legs. This bucket list experience can see you taking on the notorious Atlantic, Southern Ocean and North Pacific including stopovers in some of the world's most spectacular destinations.
