The Clipper round the world race is in full swing and the race is entering its final months with boats all competing for the best times to boost them ahead of the rest. Elliot Brown watches have sponsored the race for the last two consecutive years and have loved every second of it. Each team of sailors aren’t experienced professionals but are real working professionals such as firemen and women, office workers, construction workers and more . They take up the incredible challenge of sailing round the world with minimal experience with huge determination and is not something to be undertaken lightly.
We were honoured to be invited to the launch of the race in Liverpool and got to board one of the boats that Elliot Brown had covered in their limited edition watch, you can read all about the build up to the event here. Elliot Brown also had an ambassador who was braving the deep blue named James Macfee who met us on board and gave us a tour of the entire vessel, his courage and excitement for the challenge was extremely admirable.
The boats in the race are DARE TO LEAD, GARMIN, GREAT BRITAIN, GREENINGS, HOTELPLANNER.COM, LIVERPOOL 2018, NASDAQ, PSP LOGISTICS, QINGDAO, SANYA SERENITY COAST, UNICEF and VISIT SEATTLE. Unicef is currently in First place closely followed by Sanya Serenity Coast and then Great Britain in third place. For the full current standings please click here where you can view all the teams.
As the race draws to its final stage so is the stock of the Clipperton Limited Edition Watch, we have completely sold out and are looking to order some more so if you want to be part of a piece of nautical history and are enjoying following the race then please do give us a call or place an order online and we can get the watch ‘shipped’ (excuse the pun) to you within 7 days!
