Launched in 1996, the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is the world’s longest ocean race and the most high-profile event in the yachting calendar. This year’s race started in the United Kingdom on the 31st July and the 'Edinburgh Inspiring Capital' only yesterday embarked on the fifth leg of the 15-race series from Geraldton, Western Australia to Tauranga, New Zealand. Each yacht is sponsored by an international city, region or country and crewed by people from all walks of life such as taxi drivers, housewives and chief executives, many with little or no previous sailing experience.
