Watch action from the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race

The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, founded by legendary solo sailor Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, is the only round the world yacht race for non-professional sailors. The crews compete for the prestigious Clipper Trophy onboard a matched fleet of ten 68-foot ocean racing yachts each sponsored by different international cities and regions. By giving ordinary people the chance to do something truly extraordinary - the event brings out the best (and sometimes the worst!) in its crews. The ten-part series on Clipper 07-08 has been produced by a leading sports production company, using a combination of onboard footage from every yacht from every stage of the race, in-port material from all 14 stops around the 35,000-mile course and helicopter and boat-to-boat footage from race starts and finishes.

Series Producer Adam Birley says, "The series transcends the boundaries of sports programming by focusing on the narrative of the diverse characters taking part. For once, everyday people can watch sailing that means something to them and can see everyday people at sea dealing with the hardships of life on the ocean - the audience can actually put themselves in the characters' shoes. This is a unique opportunity for a sport usually thought of as elitist."

Each DVD runs for 26 minutes. PAL format.
