Over the weekend, crews from The Clipper Race started crossing the International Date Line and journeying back in time! What an incredible experience for the crew as they make their way to Seattle, USA. The International Date Line passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and is roughly located on a 180 degrees longitude north-southline. It is located halfway around the globe from the prime meridian — the 0 degrees longitude line in Greenwich, England.
Leg 6 is the longest race of the circuit, with crew expected to spend between 26 and 31 days at sea. The race is famed for its huge conditions, and it is a part of the world were few vessels, let alone sailing yachts, venture. The teams can expect waves the size of tower blocks, winds of over 80 knots and sub-zero temperatures on board as the fleet hurtles through large weather systems in one of the biggest expanses of ocean on the planet.
