ALIGN WITH ADVENTURE - Partner with the Clipper Race

PARTNER WITH A PLATFORM LIKE NO OTHER

A UNIQUE ADVENTURE

The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is one of the toughest challenges on the planet. Adventure is at the heart of everything we do, combined with an ambitious attitude and a human desire to push forwards.

Race Crew from all walks of life and nations across the world, compete on each of the eleven Clipper 70 yachts with a professional skipper and first mate. This is a 40,000 nautical mile, eleven-month race around the globe and an event like no other.

Our Race Partners understand and align with our values and use the race to activate and engage globally with communities and our race audience.

A RACE LIKE NO OTHER 1996

Aligning with the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race as a Team and Host Port Partner makes perfect sense. The partnership will generate brand awareness and economic impact for Bermuda—both are core to our mission.

A SUCCESFUL TEN YEAR PARTNERSHIP

This long-standing partnership was established ahead of the Clipper 2011-12 Race when the city made its debut on the international circuit ahead of its tenure as the first ever UK City of Culture in 2013. Formed to ignite civic pride and unity, create a lasting legacy, benefit the local economy and bring commercial success to the city, the partnership with the Clipper Race has drawn over 600,000 visitors and generated £15 million for the local economy.

We have welcomed visitors from all over the world over the past week and it has been fantastic to see Derry and the wider North West region profiled in such a positive way on a global platform. Once again, we’ve demonstrated our ability to stage an international event, generating substantial revenue for the local economy and enhancing the region’s profile as an exciting and unique visitor destination.
