Meet our Senior Training Skipper

Date: 30 September 2026

Broadcast times: 16:00 BST.

Duration: 30 mins + Live Q&A

Race Crew. First Mate. Race Skipper. And now Senior Training Skipper.

Dan Bodey has experienced the Clipper Race from almost every angle. Now, as our new Senior Training Skipper, he’s bringing that experience to the people preparing to take on the challenge themselves.

Join Dan for an inside look at the Clipper Race training programme – the world-class training that takes everyday people from their first steps on a yacht to being ready to race across the world’s oceans.

He’ll share stories from his own life at sea, explain what it really takes to become an ocean racer and take you behind the scenes of the training, teamwork and skills you’ll develop along the way.

There’ll also be a live Q&A, giving you the chance to ask Dan your questions about the training, the race and what life is really like at sea.

Join Dan and discover where your Clipper Race journey could take you.
