The Clipper Round The World Yacht Race will make its homecoming leg from Nova Scotia to Northern Ireland, arriving in Derry~Londonderry in early July 2012, welcomed by a four day maritime festival to celebrate the visit of the world’s longest race.
This is an opportunity to be inspired by the endeavour of the crew and take part in the celebrations to welcome to Northern Ireland yacht crews from around the world.
The only race in the world where taxi drivers rub shoulders with chief executives, vicar’s mix with housewives, bankers rely on help from nurses or rugby players – a crew that represents all walks of life, where everyone is equal.
