Power of Seattle Sports
Returning as a Host Port Partner, this edition celebrates ten years of partnership between Seattle and the Clipper Race, and the five visits makes Seattle the most featured US city on the Clipper Race route.
Passionate about promoting pathways into sport and women in sport, Seattle’s values align closely with the Clipper Race; Angela, who has followed the Clipper Ventures pathway from First Mate to Race Skipper, feels strongly about accessibility of sport and women in the industry and the duo is looking forward to showing the world that women are strong and capable.
