Liverpool 08 and EMT Ambassador Dan Monk clinched 2nd place closely followed by Glasgow: Scotland with style Clipper in 3rd at the end of Race 1 in the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race. Following Hull & Humber’s commanding victory on Wednesday evening, this means that the UK entries in Clipper 07-08 have swept the board for the three podium positions.

Hannah Jenner and her crew on Glasgow: Scotland with style Clipper had cut Liverpool 08’s lead down to less than three miles at the finish but ran out of time to catch the Liverpudlians to threaten their 2nd place.
