Where Bold Brands Thrive | Become a Clipper Race Partner

Team Partners

Team Partners have the opportunity to name and brand one of the Clipper 70 racing yachts, creating opportunities for brand activations and storytelling across an 18-month campaign over six continents. With extensive global exposure, Team Partnerships can be used to support trade, business, employee engagement, tourism, or cultural projects. In addition, the associated crew can become ambassadors for their Team Partner and can be engaged to help promote and amplify partner messages.

Following Qingdao’s victory in the 2019-20 edition, the Chinese Sailing City is set to return as a Host Port and Team Partner for the next two editions of the Clipper Race.

Host Port Partners

Bring the world to your destination. The Clipper Race brings a sense of adventure, human endeavour and a global community to the shores of Host Port Partners.

Hosted over 7-10 days, this immense adventure combines active lifestyle, environment, and social engagement providing a unique platform for substantial economic impact, media exposure, tourism, trade, and business investment.

Fleet Partners

Fleet Partners are brands that gain exposure across the entire race fleet on a global stage.

These partnerships enable brands to engage with a diverse and expansive audience, enhancing their visibility and market reach through association with the Clipper Race.

Just like the Clipper Race crew, Musto is driven out of the desire to go beyond the accepted, enabling sailors to tackle the most extreme ocean conditions.

Official Suppliers

Official Suppliers are brands that provide essential products or services to support the race, its crew, and operations. These partnerships offer scalable, global opportunities to align with the race, bringing together adventure, passion, and teamwork in a way that transcends beyond the race and tangibly connects with both partners and the wider world. Official Suppliers benefit from branding, hospitality, race ambassadors, business networking, and media exposure across the fleet and host ports.

Hyde Sails is set to supply the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race fleet for an eighth edition, with this partnership adding another chapter to this longstanding collaboration.
