Welcome to the home of the Hull & Humber entry in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, one of England’s fastest developing city regions. This vibrant and picturesque location is at the heart of the country and embraces a strategic position on the UK’s east coast.

The Hull & Humber entry is backed by
Yorkshire Forward
- the region’s development agency behind the economic regeneration of Yorkshire and the Humber. The aim is to promote the region on a world stage, to attract major events and to boost the local economy, trade, tourism, image and social inclusion.

   


In Clipper 07-08 Hull & Humber finished a close second behind the New York entry in a tough 35,000 miles race around the globe. In Clipper 09-10 the region will not only have an entry but will be hosting the start and finish of this prestigious race on the Humber.

Make a date to experience the excitement of the race start on
Sunday 13th September 2009 and to cheer the international teams back on Saturday 3rd July 2010.
