Clipper 07-08 was the first time the Clipper fleet officially paid a visit to Nova Scotia, having made an unofficial top in the Clipper 2002 Round the World Yacht Race due to a hurricane. The boats stopped there during their final leg to the finish line in Liverpool.

Not had the weather gods on side
28 June 2008
Nova Scotia has not really had the weather Gods on her side this leg. We were only 11 miles behind Glasgow: Scotland with style Clipper and 22 behind the leaders when they stayed with the wind and we dropped into (yet another) hole. So we headed South, well as far…

Lucy Mendham
Age 31, Doctor
2000 was an important year for Lucy. Not only did she qualify as a doctor, she also waved off a friend on a round the world yacht race and ever since then has been itching to take part in one herself. She has been sailing dinghies in Chichester harbour for six years and following round the world yacht races with the dream of one day taking part.
She was finally persuaded by something that might have put off a less adventurous person. “When working in Portsmouth Accident and Emergency department I looked after two casualties of Clipper Training – and meeting them and their skippers inspired me to sign up for four legs of the Clipper 07-08 Race. Let the adventure begin!”
