Consisting of 11 competing teams, the Clipper Race is the world’s biggest round-the-world ocean race, and is regarded as one of the toughest endurance challenges on the planet.

A total of 40 per cent of the crew are non-professional, novice sailors and it is the only event of its kind for amateur participants. Prior to undertaking their comprehensive training programme, completed over the past few months, Lee and the majority of the crew had never even met.
