NYC Sailors Clipper Journey

NYC Sailors Clipper Journey

Our sailors have reached Puerto Sherry after completing Leg 1 of the Clipper Round the World race.

Having battled force 8 winds, 6 metre waves and some of the worst conditions for race 1 in Clipper history,

Damiens Team Power of Seattle claimed 3rd place and sit 2nd overall, while Brian and Team Tongyeong sit in 6th.

Some well earned Rest in Puerto Sherry before the set off on Sunday on Leg 2, The South Atlantic Challenge, 5,300nm to Punta Del Este, Uruguay.

 

Wishing our sailors fair winds and safe passage.
