From the arrival of the twelve yacths last week to their departure yesterday (September 1st) from St Katharine Docks, we have followed closely the preparations for the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
Please, do not miss this week’s issue of the Docklands & East London Advertiser - where you will find an interview by reporter Else Kvist with the Quindao yacht crew offering an insight into life onboard, including eating and sleeping arragement for the year-long journey.
You can see all the pictures in advance by following the multimedia gallery on the right hand side.
