Preparations are well underway for the return of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race with one of the most exciting events planned for the year, a weeklong LegenDerry Maritime Festival from 21-29th June 2014.

The Northern Irish entry has finished its toughest leg yet of the 2013-14 edition of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, with rescued crew member Andrew Taylor going to hospital upon arrival following the man overboard incident in the Pacific last week.
