The Race

The Clipper Race is one of the biggest challenges of the natural world and an endurance test like no other.

The Life

A Clipper 70 is no place for the faint-hearted. Every team member has a role on deck and is trained to form a self-sufficient unit, ready to handle any situation, no matter how severe.
