Clipper Race partners with Musto to face planet’s toughest challenge

"What's really unique about the Clipper Race is that it has the potential to take someone out of their comfort zone and provide them with an experience that changes the way they see their lives forever. The inspiration and drive that comes from seeing what you can achieve when you push yourself extends far beyond the race. These sailors will be facing the most challenging of conditions, which is why they need the best protection to keep them focused on the task at hand," Paul Stoneham, Musto Executive Chairman, said.

As the Clipper Race Skippers and crew race 40,000 nautical miles around the planet, they will also be testing out the technical performance of Musto clothing, supporting the brand's research and development program of continual innovation.

The Clipper 2019-20 Race will start next summer. Although the complete race route has not yet been announced, three stopovers in China have already been confirmed. The Clipper Race will visit Qingdao and Sanya, along with Zhuhai, a new Host Port and Team Partner for the next edition.

The new partnership covers the 2019-20 and 2021-22 editions of the Clipper Race. With over 400 crew already signed up for next year's challenge, extensive training is already underway. This includes full familiarisation training with high performance Musto clothing, accessories and footwear.
