HÀ NỘI The Clipper Round The World Yacht Race began yesterday, about 700 amateur sailors setting off after months of preparation.
Sailors of 11 teams, including a crew from Việt Nam named ‘Hạ Long Bay-Vietnam’, are taking part in the first leg from London in England to Portimao in Portugal.
The race, which has eight legs across six oceans on 40,000-nautical milse (74,000km), will return to St Katharine Docks in August 2020 after about 11 months. VNS
