12 Derry Volunteers Chosen for Round the World Yacht Race
Twelve volunteers from Derry have been chosen as crew members for the longest ocean race in the world. The 12 were chosen out of more than 100 people who turned up for presentations about the 2011-12 Clipper round-the-world yacht race. Derry is an official host port for leg eight of the competition. The city will welcome the fleet in July 2012, after the final trans-atlantic stage of the 40,000 mile race.
There will also be an official Derry yacht in the race, which will take in 15 ports on six continents.
