Volvo B9TL Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini 2, number 350 (SN59 BHF) poses for the cameras at the
Gyle wearing the new World Clipper Yacht Race promotion for 'Edinburgh Inspiring Capital'.
Ian Craig, Managing Director of Lothian Buses, commented, “Lothian Buses is delighted to help promote Edinburgh’s entry in the Clipper Round The World Yacht Race. Being a keen yachtsman I am personally enjoying tracking our yacht Edinburgh Inspiring Capital on its incredible and exciting journey".
Launched in 1996, the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is the world’s longest ocean race covering 40,000 miles. This year’s race started in the United Kingdom on 31st of July and Edinburgh Inspiring Capital embarked on the fifth leg of the 15-race series from Geraldton, Western Australia to Tauranga, New Zealand.
Each yacht is sponsored by an international city, region or country and crewed by people from all walks of life such as taxi drivers, housewives and chief executives, many with little or no previous sailing experience prior to undertaking Clipper's intensive 32 days of training. It's amazing what
one learns and I discovered that fewer people have raced a yacht around the globe than have climbed Mount Everest.
