We are passionate about experiential learning and creating unforgettable experiences, and therefore believe that our synergy with the ethos of the Clipper Race makes us the perfect fit for supporting the Skippers, AQPs and Race Crew again on this feat of personal resilience and adventure to be the best they can be.”
