The inaugural race was low-key with the start watched by only a handful of spectators, whereas at the start of Clipper attracted an estimated , spectators, and the Red Arrows flew overhead. By the end of that race the race had been exposed to an estimated combined global circulation of more than ,, people. The route was largely the same as the '96 race, but called briefly at Nassau in the Bahamas before going to Marina Hemingway, five miles to the west of Havana , a direct course between the USA and Cuba being impossible. The race was won, convincingly, by Alex Thomson , who was the youngest skipper to win a round the world yacht race at just Thomson used the win to springboard him into the international racing scene on his Open 60 Hugo Boss. This was the only race to have a title sponsor, with the UK daily broadsheet The Times sponsoring the race and trophy. All eight Clipper 60 yachts took part, and were renamed after cities in the UK Portsmouth , Plymouth , Bristol , Glasgow , Leeds , London , Jersey and Liverpool , with the crews, where possible, drawn from the city their boat was named for. The race started and finished in Portsmouth harbour. The race attempted to make it from Yokohama to Shanghai but a fierce storm east of Tokyo Bay in March caused damage to several of the boats and by the time they had returned to Japan for repair, the entry visas to China had lapsed. Instead, the fleet raced from Yokohama to Naha , the capital of the Japanese island, Okinawa. The point scoring method was altered, with the races now scoring 8 points for a win, 7 for second and so on. This was to be the fourth and final circumnavigation for the Clipper 60 fleet. Three of the boats were renamed, and international cities were now added to the race, Hong Kong, Cape Town and New York. The start point was moved to Liverpool , and an estimated 40, spectators came to see the boats off despite a hour delay due to storms in the Irish Sea. The race continued to go westwards. As in , the attempt to race into Shanghai failed — this time thanks to the promised berthing facilities being withdrawn. Further along the route, the fleet was challenged by the SARS virus and the yachts were forced to find an alternative location close to Singapore. The popular Indonesian island of Batam provided the facilities and the stop proved so popular, it was a catalyst for Singapore to enter a yacht in the next running of the race. After the initial three international boats from the race, the race was made fully international, with boats sponsored by Victoria, Canada , Qingdao , Durban , New York , Singapore and Western Australia as well as the home teams of Liverpool , Glasgow , Cardiff and Jersey. The race was the first to circumnavigate from east to west. The route was altered to take account of the faster boats, and to take in stopovers at many of the sponsoring cities. The race schedule was significantly altered when Glasgow Clipper reported keel problems in the South China Sea, and diverted to Subic Bay in the Philippines, followed by the rest of the fleet that were showing symptoms, causing an enforced 6 week stopover. In addition, the race committee did sometimes apply points penalties, invariably for excessive sail damage. The penalty points are shown in brackets after the result. The original race 6, from Singapore to Qingdao was abandoned when the fleet diverted to Subic, and no points were awarded. Liverpool and Singapore were awarded a tie in Race 3, after Liverpool had a GPS failure, and could not confirm its finish time with sufficient accuracy to determine whether it was ahead or behind Singapore. Once again, 10 Clipper 68s took part. The race had some changes compared to the 05—06 route. La Rochelle was the first stop, replacing Cascais, and the route for Leg 5 changed, with the race leaving Qingdao and heading to Santa Cruz via Hawaii , eliminating the stopovers in Yokohama and Victoria. The final leg also changed, with an extra stop in Halifax , and the final pitstop in Cork , rather than Jersey and then finished in Liverpool in July Where two teams are equal on points, their relative position is determined using the countback rule. That is, the team with the most first-place finishes is placed higher; if those are equal, look at second-place finishes, and so forth The same fleet of Clipper 68s took part. In it was reported that the reef and its associated light lie 0. Cork Clipper was abandoned a few days later after the decision was made that any attempt to salvage her would be uneconomical. The Cork yacht was able to finish the race in style as they achieved line honours into their home port of Kinsale, and won the final race from IJmuiden to Hull; winning a second coveted yellow pennant. The fleet departed from Ocean Village on 31 July and the race started in the Solent. In this edition of the race the fleet included a newly built Clipper 68 to replace the yacht lost at sea. During race 9 from Qingdao to California, an incident on the Geraldton Western Australia yacht made international headlines when the US Coastguard Cutter Bertholf rescued two of the four injured crew from the yacht. The route was again modified with yachts visiting Eastern Australia and New Zealand for the first time before sailing up to Singapore. For this edition, the fleet was expanded to 12 brand new identical Tony Castro designed Clipper 70 yachts. In a break from tradition, 5 of the yachts are sponsored by companies rather than cities or countries. The race set off from London's St. Katherine Docks on Sunday 1 September, with the start taking place offshore at Southend [53] the following morning. Clipper Results [55]. The edition of the race is currently underway, with the same matched fleet of twelve Clipper 70 yachts as took part in the Race. The edition of the race set sail on Sunday 30 August , once again from London's St Katharine Docks , with the actual start of the first race taking place offshore at Southend at BST on Monday 31 August. At midnight [58] on 5 September - day 7 of the first leg of the race - the fleet were off the coast of Portugal when Andrew Ashman 49 , a crew member aboard IchorCoal was knocked unconscious as he adjusted the mainsheet while reefing. Resuscitation attempts were not successful and he died. This is the only fatality in the year history of the Clipper race. From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core.
