What it takes
The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is a biennial 40,000-nautical-mile circumnavigation in 11 identical 70-foot racing yachts. No prior sailing experience is required — 40% of crew are complete newcomers. Four levels of training prepare you from zero to ocean racing. You can sign up for a single leg or the full 11-month circumnavigation. The 2025-26 race is currently underway; the next edition is 2027-28.
