Discovery Talk: Become an Ocean Racer
01 May 2024 / 1700-1900
The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is in Seattle and on the lookout for adventurous sailors, yet no previous sailing experience is required. Have you got what it takes?
This event is for those eager to test their limits beyond belief and find out how they can take part in the next race edition. Come and hear about it from Crew Recruitment Director and previous Clipper Race circumnavigator, Della Parsons.
You will discover more about the selection process, mandatory training, the race, the fleet, stopovers, personal logistics and most importantly the Race Crew. You'll either walk away inspired or scared. One thing you won't be is bored.
Afterwards, you'll have a chance to explore a Clipper 70 and hear what life onboard an ocean racing yacht is really like. The current Clipper Race Crew will no doubt also share some stories fresh from their race across the mighty North Pacific.
