The Clipper Race fleet set off for St Katherine’s Dock

Some of us set out ahead of the fleet out of Gosport Marina on Rhoda, a yacht that Rachel knows and loves well. We got out into The Solent and the fleet passed alongside several times. We were showing our GO SANYA banner and gave SANYA a Hip Hip Hooray. The fleet lined up in a single line was truly impressive. Later a helicopter and a drone were deployed to take the official photographs under full sail and in a chevron formation. Our photographs will follow.
