This leg is 5.186 nautical miles long and started from London, UK on August 31st 2015. On arrival, Wendy said: “It’s been long and hard at times, but now that it has come to an end, I’m a tad sad. It has been great seeing the crew grow in confidence and learn new skills along the way. 
The first Leg highlights have been leaving London – it was such an incredible atmosphere. The first few days saw us settling into the rhythm of the boat. The Bay of Biscay was kind to us, and we enjoyed crossing it while surfing waves under kite and a full moon. I loved crossing the Equator and passing the few groups of islands”.

“We are all looking forward to Leg 2 – we have learnt do much. I have already started our planning and looking at the routeing charts. It will be a chance for us to try and redeem ourselves,” she added.

The next stage, Leg 2: “The Stormhoek Race to Cape of Storms Cape Town”, South Africa, will depart Marina da Gloria on Wednesday 7 October. Clipper Round the World Race is the world longest yacht race crosses over 40.000 nautical miles, 05 continents
