The Clipper Race fleet will transit the Panama Canal which will be a highlight for the crew, especially the engineers among them.

The history of the Panama Canal goes back to almost the earliest explorers who saw its potential for international trade.

It took more than 400 years for the dream to be realised before it opened in 1914 after 23 years of work, but the feat of engineering is considered one of the largest and most successful projects ever undertaken in the world.
