The Clipper Round-the-World Yacht Race, which sees 12 teams spend a year travelling the globe, will start and finish in Liverpool and today a fleet of 12 70-foot ocean racing yachts arrived in Liverpool for a parade along the Mersey. They entered the Canning Half Tide Dock and Albert Dock where members of the public can see them over the coming week.
The Clipper Race is one of the biggest challenges of the natural world and an endurance test like no other. With no previous sailing experience necessary, it’s a record breaking 40,000 nautical mile race around the world on a 70-foot ocean racing yacht.
The brainchild of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail solo non-stop around the world, the event is now on its eleventh edition. Divided into eight legs and 14 to 16 individual races, you can choose to complete the full circumnavigation or select individual legs. It is the only race in the world where the organisers supply a fleet of twelve identical racing yachts, each with a fully qualified skipper to safely guide the crew.
Normally the domain of seasoned pros, this supreme challenge is taken on by ordinary, everyday people. Having completed a rigorous training course, participants are suited and booted in the latest extreme protection gear to commence the race of their lives - an unparalleled challenge where taxi drivers rub shoulders with chief executives, vicars mix with housewives, students work alongside bankers, and engineers team up with rugby players.
The sea does not distinguish between Olympians or novices. There is nowhere to hide - if Mother Nature throws down the gauntlet, you must be ready to face the same challenges as the pro racer. Navigate the Doldrums en route to South America, endure epic Southern Ocean storms, experience South African sunsets, face the mountainous seas of the North Pacific - and bond with an international crew creating lifelong memories before returning victorious.

Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.

CCGS Siyay is a Canadian Coast Guard Type 400 BHC AP1-88/400 hovercraft based in Richmond, British Columbia. The vessel was ordered in 1996 and launched and entered service in 1998. The hovercraft is predominantly used for servicing navigational aids and search and rescue duties.
Siyay is a Type 400 BHC AP1-88/400 hovercraft, the second of two vessels constructed for the Canadian Coast Guard. Siyay, which was constructed out of aluminium, has a standard displacement of 36 tonnes (35 long tons) standard and 70 t (69 long tons) at full load and measures 70 net tonnage (NT). The hovercraft is 28.5 metres (93 ft 6 in) long with a beam of 12 m (39 ft 4 in). The vessel has a main deck cargo capacity of 110 m2 (1,200 sq ft) and a well deck measuring 8.2 m × 6.4 m (26 ft 11 in × 21 ft 0 in), serviced by a Palfinger - PK3000M 5,000-kilogram (5.0 t) crane.
The hovercraft is powered by four Caterpillar 3416 TTA diesel engines turning two controllable-pitch propellers creating 2,818 kilowatts (3,779 hp). Siyay has a maximum speed of 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph) and a cruising speed of 45 knots (83 km/h; 52 mph). The vessel has a range of 300 nautical miles (560 km; 350 mi) with the endurance of one day. The vessel has a complement of 7 with two officers and a five person dive team.
Construction and career
The contract to build Siyay and sister ship Sipu Muin was awarded in May 1996 to GKN Westland. The two hovercraft were built by Hike Metals & Shipbuilding Limited at their yard in Wheatley, Ontario. Siyay was launched in 1998 and completed in December of that year.

After the success of Consolidated's PT-1 Trusty and PT-3 Husky designs as post-World War I trainers for the US Army Air Corps and Navy, the company decided to market a similar biplane design to the growing civilian market. Initially known as the Husky Junior, Consolidated abruptly pulled the plug on the design not long after the prototype flew in November 1928, concentrating instead on military contracts.
However, Consolidated's president, Reuben Fleet--who had designed the the Husky Junior and would go on to help design the B-24 Liberator and PBY Catalina--liked his design too much to see it die. He formed a subsidiary company, Fleet Aircraft, and marketed the Husky Junior as the Fleet Model 1. This became the success that Fleet knew it would be, with 300 aircraft produced in its first year of production. Consolidated's board of directors reconsidered, and the Model 1 was quickly superseded by the Model 2, with a more powerful Kinner engine. Model 2s were produced in both the United States and Canada; the latter were known as Fleet Fawns and Finches.
Though the Fleet biplanes were intended for civilian markets, their success led the USAAC to purchase a small number as the PT-6, and the Navy to buy them as N2Y-1s. The latter ended up in a truly unique role: as trainers for the Navy's Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk parasite fighters, based aboard the Navy's immense airships, the USS Akron and Macon. The N2Ys carried the same trapeze hooks that allowed them to dock with the airships, and besides being used as trainers, they could ferry people to the airships without the latter having to land.
Built in a staggering number of variants, from the Model 1 through the Model 21, the Fleet biplanes would be gone from US military stocks by the time World War II rolled around, but enough remained in civilian hands that they were used in the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) as the intial step for prospective combat pilots. Of over 900 aircraft built, a handful survive to the modern day.
One of the surviving Model 2s is this example at the Pima Air and Space Museum. It was built in 1929 and flew with a number of private owners, including Gilpen and Greenway Airlines of Tucson, Arizona, from 1934 to 1945. Gilpen and Greenway operated this aircraft during World War II as part of the CPTP. It was donated to Pima in 1992, and restored to its prewar appearance. It was one of a few aircraft I'd missed getting a shot of in 2019, so I made sure to score a picture in 2020!
