TDSWC members are sailing round the world in the 2019/20 Clipper RTW Race
Our two enterprising TDSWC members, Trevor Thurlow and James Anderson are on their way around the world in the Clipper Yacht Race.
Trevor is sailing on “Zhuhai” (blue) and James is on “Imagine Your Korea” (purple).
You can see where they are standing in the 40,000 nm race – click here.
Imagine your Korea finish third in race 4 to Freemantle – by far their best result so far, so well done James and the Imagine your Korea crew!
Zhuhai finish sixth in race 4 to Freemantle – well done Trevor and the Zhuhai crew!
