The Clipper Race’s love affair with New York continued as the fleet paid its fourth visit to the most vibrant of places, an edgy fast-paced melting pot of cultures framed by its iconic midtown skyline, the Hudson and East rivers and a history-laden past has shaped the city as it is today.

A time for reflection
27 June 2008
Starting out on race 12 and hitting a wind hole for 3 days undoubtedly gives you time to think and reflect on the Clipper journey of a lifetime, and the last 10 months. And what a rollercoaster of a ride we have had with plenty of ups and downs, highs…

Gary Purdom
Age 54, Retired
An experienced sailor, Gary, from Bainbridge Island near Seattle, Washington, USA, was inspired in the 1970s by the story of Robin Lee Graham’s circumnavigation. He left California solo in the late 1960s on a 24-foot yacht, Dove.
His wife has listened to him talk about it for the 28 years they have been together and eventually said to him, “Either do it or stop talking about it!” So now he’s becoming a circumnavigator and says the best part so far is his daughter’s reaction: “Thanks, dad, for inspiring me to follow my own dreams.” Says Gary, “Being able to fulfil my dream and inspire my children makes it all worthwhile.”
