The Clipper race ended last weekend after 40,000 miles. It started from St Katherine's Dock in London and ended there. Twelve boats took part.
There are 16 races over 8 legs:
There was a competition today to win a place on the 2015 race. In case you're wondering, I didn't enter.

Don't look like clippers to me, more like ocean going yachts. Thought you would have entered the comp thought
ReplyDeleteThey are a very colourful subject for your camera. They look awfully small to sail so far. Not my idea of adventure.
ReplyDeleteOpen ocean . . . in a canoe? I'll pass. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! All the boats made it back?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful .It would fe fun to take part in that race.
ReplyDeleteWow, 40,000 miles in those? And I thought I packed light!
ReplyDeleteThat does look like fun! Work, but fun too. That's a LONG ways to go in one of those. Thanks for introducing me to it. I won't be entering, either. :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't enter either :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic reflection of the yachts. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletethat looks really neat!
ReplyDeleteAmazing - but that would not be for me ! A friend of mine took part in something similar and became very sick somewhere between S.Africa and Australia...what a drama that was.
ReplyDeleteNice boats though and nice reflections!
That's quite a race! Those brightly-colored boats are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, the Clipper race 40,000 miles ...Great job and excellent water reflection... Amazing photos...
ReplyDeletegreat photos when they're all together like that.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT would be some kind of adventure! Lovely colourful sails.
ReplyDeleteIt must be amazing to take part in this race, not that I would actually want to participate myself I don't think!
