My mate Ian's round the world race with Clipper Ventures…...

[Giles]

So you want to have a go at going up the mast (It’s 90’ from the deck to the top).

Ian will be sailing around the world starting in July of this year.  Ports of call along the way are as below (member name in red is who has habbed that leg):

Madeira – Portugal
Rio – Brazil
Cape Town – South Africa
West Coast (Possibly Perth) – Australia
Wellington – New Zealand    Jimmy
East Coast (Poss Brisbane or Sydney)  – Australia
Singapore – Singapore    AKI
Qingdau - China
West Coast (San Francisco we think) – USA
New York – USA          MONDAY
Somewhere - Nova Scotia
Derry – Ireland
Somewhere - The Netherlands

Ian and his crew will winch just one of you up to the top in each port of call, so if you want to have a go, drop me a PM.  All I ask, is that you take loads of photos/video and post them here.

This looks rad, I wish they were coming to SoCal.

[Giles]

I guess they could be, but they'll lose the race if they do….................

[madmonday]

The Devil made me do it

Can the Odd couple roll together in NY?

@LandoCal126:

Can the Odd couple roll together in NY?

The more who turn up to watch the spectacle the better, but I will have to ask Ian about whether he has the time to spend organising 2 of you.  He will be busy restocking the boat, doing media shit etc etc.  Let's hope he is way out in front in the race, then he has longer in port whilst the others catch up before the next leg…................

I will be there either way! Thanks G

This is something for Finn666 - seems like it would come natural to him…

[Finn666]

Too bad that Switzerland has no harbor where they can check-in at so I have to pass unfortunately

[FOXY]

I could make Qingdao - China if it happens in July/August…

[jimmy]

If wellington is not booked I'll fly down to meet them. Sounds like a once in a life time thing. Or maybe hemi will be keen, it's his home town after all.  Either way I'll go down and get pics

[Beatle]

looks like fun…gotta hunt them down...
