Clipper Race crew will experience the breathtaking beauty of this West Coast town and a warm Highlands welcome when they visit in July 2024 – the penultimate stop on the 40,000nm race around the world.
The Clipper Race is renowned as one of the toughest endurance challenges on the planet. Welcoming adventurers from all walks of life to take on the exceptional challenge of racing across the world’s oceans on board a 70ft yacht, this unique event sees teams battle extreme conditions on its eleven-month circumnavigation. The Clipper 2023-24 Race sees nine Scottish crew taking part over the eight legs of the sailing event.
Berthing at North Pier Pontoons in Oban, Race Crew will get a chance to take in the stunning scenery, rich history, warm hospitality, and diverse attractions on offer in this Scottish Gem, before heading off on the final race of this edition.
By the time teams arrive in Oban they will have sailed almost 40,000nm and crossed six oceans. The last stop before the emotional homecoming, the arrival into Oban will mark the end of the North Atlantic crossing, allowing the crew a few days to gather their thoughts before they embark on the short but intense race back to the finish line in Portsmouth.
This edition sees a number of Scottish crew taking part in the race, four of which will experience sailing into their home country after crossing the North Atlantic from the USA.
