The three remaining legs of the Clipper Race will be rescheduled for January 2021, and the next edition of the round-the-world race will be delayed to a summer 2022 start.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are extremely disappointed to postpone the remainder of the Clipper 2019-20 Race,\u201d the statement concluded. \u201cWe are proud of all of our intrepid crew for having competed in this race edition since it departed London and look forward to welcoming all of our upcoming crew next year when the race continues. We are also grateful to all of our crew, supporters and race partners for their continued support.\u201d<br \/>\nThe post 2019-20 Clipper Race postponed by 10 months due to Coronavirus outbreak appeared first on Yachting World.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The organising committee has moved to postpone the 2019-20 Clipper Race after crews were quarantined in the Philippines on Sunday (March 15)Photo: facebook.com\/pg\/clipperroundtheworldThe 2019-20 Clipper Race is the latest major sporting event to be postponed as a result of the &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/velocityyachts.com\/blog\/2019-20-clipper-race-postponed-by-10-months-due-to-coronavirus-outbreak\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;2019-20 Clipper Race postponed by 10 months due to Coronavirus outbreak&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1498,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
