Happy New Year!

2012 saw the conclusion of eighth edition of the Clipper Race, the final circumnavigation for the Clipper 68, and now all eyes are firmly fixed on the next generation of Clipper Race yachts as we move into 2013.

The Clipper 70s will debut during the Clipper 13-14 Race, which starts next summer, and will see the twelve-strong fleet break speed records around the world.

You’ll be able to see the first Clipper 70 this January in London at our official launch at St Katharine Docks. The rugged ocean racer will be open to the public from 12-20 January, click here for more information.

A chance to win a sailing day for two on a Clipper 70 and experience life as an ocean racer is also up for grabs. Just email your name, age and address to: [email protected]

Entrants must be 18 or over. Terms and Conditions apply.

From everyone at the Clipper Race, happy New Year!
