So, for anyone that missed the 1st 17/18 Clipper Race Mass Crew Briefing here is a little low down for you.
The briefing was held at the Royal Thames Yacht Club in January, and is an annual Clipper event. There were about 150 leggers and RTW-ers there and lots of the Clipper family and sponsors alike.
I am super excited to have a friend aboard Clipper Race boat Da Nang Vietnam for the next leg of the round the world race. My friend, Chris (who I did my level one training with) has just joined the 15/16 RTW Clipper Race to race in leg 5. Leg 5 will start on Monday 18th January from Airlie Beach, Australia.
Skippered by Aussie superhero, Wendy Tuck, Da Nang is so far coming a respectable 7th, with 30 points in the overall race standings, but recently came 1st out of the Clipper fleet in the infamous Rolex Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race.
