Clippers set sail

Clipper Round the World Yacht Race teams, including the crew of Derry-Londonderry-Doire, have bid New York farewell as they departed on the “Atlantic Homecoming” final leg of the world’s longest ocean race.

The crews are now racing the “LegenDerry Finale” to London via Derry-Londonderry, and The Netherlands. They have already raced 37,000 nautical miles round the globe since departing London in August, 2015. The crews enjoyed a stopover in New York following the completion of the U.S. leg from Seattle to New York via the Panama Canal. The race is scheduled to conclude on July 30.
