Race 9 due to start on Thursday

With Durban and Western Australia now expected to arrive in Santa Cruz tomorrow, 22nd April, the Race organisers are estimating the restart of the Clipper round the World yacht race to take place on Thursday 24th April.

Race 9 was originally scheduled to start on 19th April, however, following the dismasting of Durban and WA, they are currently traversing the Pacific by both sail and motor. At 06:00 they are just under 350 miles away from Santa Cruz. It will be a quick turn around for both teams.

Meanwhile the gallant crew of the good ship JAMAICA have had a little time to explore California before heading back to prepare her for the restart.
