Chartco Continues Support for Clipper Race
ChartCo, a global supplier of maritime digital data and compliance services, has announced with great excitement that it is once again supporting the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. This is the fifth consecutive race ChartCo is sponsoring, and it’s delighted to be involved once again with one of the world’s best known and toughest ocean races: a 40,000 nautical mile endurance test around the world on a 70-foot ocean racing yacht.
This year ChartCo is the Official Nautical Chart Services Partner, providing a range of navigational and compliance services for the race fleet and a range of navigation equipment is also available to the crew teams.
The Clipper Race was established in 1996 by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and is the only event of its kind for amateur sailors. Twelve teams, each led by a professional skipper, will battle against each other in up to 13 individually scored races which cover six continents on the global race circuit.
