Clipper Ventures, a privately owned company based in the UK, was founded in 1995 and operates with approximately 90 employees, reporting $33.8M in revenue as of 2023. As a tier 2 media tech buyer, the company specializes in organizing the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, a global sailing event founded by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail solo non-stop around the world. The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race involves a series of races spanning various legs and typically takes almost a year to complete.
The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race fleet departed Washington DC on June 30, 2026, beginning its final ocean crossing of the 2025-26 edition across the North Atlantic for Oban, Scotland, as teams enter the closing leg of the global race route. This follows an announcement on May 28, 2026, that Oban, Scotland, will host the global event between July 10 and 13, 2026, marking only the second time in the race's 30-year history. Ten teams are expected to arrive in the west coast town aboard 70ft ocean racing yachts following the transatlantic leg. Previously, on May 20, 2026, a Clipper 70 ocean racing yacht, CV31, was sold after completing five circumnavigations. It is set to become a new youth development yacht named Spirit of Shackleton, based in Dún Laoghaire harbour, Co. Dublin, Ireland.
