The Clipper race is coming swiftly to a close, as racers approach the host port of Derry at the end of its eighth leg – the Atlantic Homecoming Leg.
This is the penultimate race of its circuit, dubbed The LegenDerry Finale, and the stopover in Derry is famous among the Clipper Race crew for the LegenDerry welcome that follows the arduous journey from New York.
The 40,000 nautical mile race has become a favourite event in the city's calendar, with the Foyle Maritime Festival providing a packed programme of water activities, boat tours, food stalls, and music and theatre performances, with the event culminating in a breathtaking showcase event on the River Foyle.
