Sign up to fly the flag in next year's race

Places are now open for anyone interested in participating in the Clipper 2009-10 race.
The yachts are crewed by teams of amateur sailors with little or no experience before signing up for the race.

Crew members who have helped the Hull and Humber Clipper on her voyage across the world this year have come from varied backgrounds including a doctor, nurses, an accountant and many more.
Crewmembers must be over 18 when starting the race, but there is no upper age limit. The challenge will be split into seven legs, with each divided into individual races between the different ports.
