Twelve 70 foot Clipper yachts will arrive on Sunday evening for an overnight stay ahead of the start on Monday for the 2015 Round the World Clipper race. Queenborough Harbour Trust’s patron, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, will also be arriving Sunday evening. As a result, overnight berthing in the harbour will be severely limited to just the two yellow buoys, each taking 4 boats and any available single buoys. As usual, overnights stays will be on a first come, first served basis.

What time will the Clippers be arriving at Queenborough this evening?
About 9pm I think.
Oh thank you.
What time will the boats be leaving Monday morning to start the race, and where is the start line? Thanks
I understand the race will start off Southend Pier about 12 noon, so the boats will be moving out of Queenborough mid-morning. Sorry I don’t have more precise information.
