Clipper Race organisers, including former crew members, are touring Ireland and will host a free talk at Derry-Londonderry’s Guildhall on Friday 6 February at 6.30pm, and then Belfast’s Odyssey Complex on Saturday 7 Feb at 12.00pm, for those interested in finding out more about getting on board the world’s longest and most unique ocean challenge.

Clipper Race founder Sir Robin Knox-Johnston said: “This will be the third entry from Derry-Londonderry and builds on the huge success achieved in previous races both by the crew and its business partners, building a lasting legacy as UK City of Culture 2013. I encourage everyone to get behind this and I know the fleet’s visit to the Foyle will again be a highlight of the Clipper 2015-16.”
