The Clipper 70 was introduced for the 2013-14 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, and is now preparing to carry novice crew for another 40,000 nm lap in 2025-26. Designed by Tony Castro, it will be the sixth edition for the identical 11-boat fleet.
Getting all of them to the finish line is an absolute priority, particularly since the twelfth boat sank after hitting a reef. That’s where the Clipper Race Maintenance Team comes in.
Led by Greg North, Head of Fleet Maintenance, after each edition, his team strips each yacht down to its bare bones and rebuilds it back to race-ready condition, ensuring safety, reliability, and performance for the next crew of adventurers. Each yacht is then independently inspected and signed off by two certifying authorities ahead of the start. – Full report
