Clipper Race

Published 14:58 on 19 Jun 2026

The 22 June sees the start of the great CYC Atlantic Clipper Round the World showdown between our RC Yachts Simon Fraser and RC Dinghies Michael Olliff.  They are racing against each other from Washington DC to Oban and then from Oban back to Portsmouth on Yacht Club Punta De LEste and Qingdao respectively. Punta and Qingdao finished very close together on the last leg following a gybing match up to the line but Punta just got the edge. We wish them fair winds and safe sailing for the Atlantic adventure! You can follow the race hour by hour on the Clipper Race tracker here.
