Oban - Portsmouth

Stage 13: UNICEF's unstoppable race for childhood

Key features: Coastal racing, tactics, homecoming.

Stage 13 takes Race Crew from Oban, Scotland, to Portsmouth, England. Departing Scotland's spectacular west coast, the fleet heads south through the Irish Sea and English Channel for the final race of the Clipper Race circumnavigation.

While one of the shorter stages at 920nm, the race still demands intense concentration as crew navigate the busy shipping lanes and complex coastal weather. With the Finish Line in sight, every decision counts as teams battle for the final points and one last chance to climb the leaderboard.

The arrival into Portsmouth marks an emotional homecoming and the culmination of an extraordinary adventure. Having raced more than 40,000 nautical miles around the globe, Race Crew return to where it all began to celebrate the achievement of a lifetime with family, friends and supporters.
